Our Mission is to guide the future generations of amazing young women to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure. Our troop is a ministry of Bedford Acres Christian Church (our Charter Organization) in Paris, Kentucky. Our troop seeks to minister to girls and young women by teaching them, in the context of outdoor adventure, about character and leadership from a Christian worldview. The values we seek to reinforce are based upon the truths outlined in the Bible, the holy and inerrant Word of God.
who we are...
American Heritage Girls Troop KY-5414 provides Christ-centered, forward-focusing programming tailored to the age and ability of each child. The Program consists of six key components known as the AHG Program Emphases. A girl who completes the AHG Program will be a Christ-following servant leader who is honoring, relational, anchored in Christ, and competent: a woman of integrity.
what we are about...
American Heritage Girls is a Christ-centered leadership and character development ministry. The following Statement of Faith applies to all American Heritage Girls’ Charter Organizations and Adult Members.
​
“We believe that there is one Triune God–Father; Jesus Christ, His one and only Son; and the Holy Spirit–Creator of the universe and eternally existent. We believe the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We believe each person is created in His image for the purpose of communing with and worshipping God. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Who enables us to live godly lives. We believe that each individual is called to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength; and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe God calls us to lives of purity, service, stewardship, and integrity.”
​
Clarity is further provided to the following terms:
-
Purity–God calls us to lives of holiness, being pure of heart, mind, word, and deed. We are to reserve sexual activity to the sanctity of marriage; a lifelong commitment before God between a man and a woman.
-
Service–God calls us to become responsible members of our community and the world through selfless acts that contribute to the welfare of others.
-
Stewardship–God calls us to use our God-given time, talents, and money wisely.
-
Integrity–God calls us to live moral lives that demonstrate an inward motivation to do what is right, regardless of the cost.
