AHG is Proud to Partner with SBC Churches Nationwide.
American Heritage Girls (AHG) is a Christ-centered character and leadership development program for girls ages 5 to 18. The goal of every AHG Troop is to provide girls with a balanced program, which progresses with the girl - increasing in challenge and skill as she grows in maturity and knowledge. Rather than rushing a girl through childhood and adolescence, AHG is committed to giving her the time that she needs to grow and learn who she is, and whose she is, in Christ. AHG is discipling girls for Christ in a setting full of faith, service, and fun!
AHG has over 1,200 Troops chartered across the nation, and 20% of those Troops are affiliated with churches in the Southern Baptist Convention. AHG’s alignment with the core values and ideals of churches in the SBC provides the opportunity for strong ministry partnership.
Every AHG Troop is owned by a Charter Organization (churches) that aligns with the AHG Statement of Faith. As the owner of the Troop, each Charter Organization has full control of the faith formation of the girls in the Troop. AHG's volunteer-led program offers girls the opportunity to develop a Biblical worldview and learn valuable life skills through robust programming that will help you reach your ministry goals and grow the Kingdom.
We know you and the girls in your community are going to love making an impact with AHG. By completing this form, you will receive information on what is needed to get a Troop started in your SBC church. We are so excited to partner with you on this journey!

OATH
I promise to love God, cherish my family, honor my country, and serve in my community.
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.
AHG Program
American Heritage Girls provides Christ-centered progressive 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.
