Lutheran Girl Pioneers is a Christian-based fellowship organization for your daughter, granddaughter, or niece in grades 1 through 8. Each year the leadership council puts together a program designed to teach basic life skills like sewing a button or simple meal preparation, along with service-based opportunities to care for God's people including visists to shut-ins and fundraising for the less fortunate. We host a pine car derby in February or March where the girls are encouraged to build their own car and compete for speed and/or design. Older girls are encouraged to mentor younger girls. Along the way, we have a great deal of fun! Adults are always welcome to sit in on a meeting or help out. No pre-planning necessary, just stay for the evening.

The groups are as follows:

Sunbeams (Grade 1 and Grade 2)

Travelers (Grade 3 and Grade 4)

Trailblazers (Grade 5 and Grade 6)

Homesteaders (Grade 7 and Grade 8)

We meet at 6:30 the first and third Tuesdays of the month, September through May. We start with a devotion and sing the Lutheran Pioneer Hymn followed by the planned activity. Meetings are held in the St. Matthew's gym. Parents are asked to pick up the girls at 8 p.m.

To provide supervised and constructive recreation preparing Lutheran Girl Pioneers in the way of good citizenship with their motto, "Loyal to Christ," ever before them.

We are part of a national organization and can participate in district and national Lutheran Girl Pioneer activities as well.

Love Children?

You can be a part of LGP even if you don't have a daughter in the grades above. We are always seeking leaders, helpers, and council members to organize activities and share their talents. The council meets once a month at St. Matthew's.
