What is GEMS?

Godly Encouragement for Moms®

The GEMS® ministry, part of the CFH Network, exists to encourage moms across the world as they pursue God’s best for their lives. We are moms ourselves who desire to come alongside other moms and do life with them.

We desire to EQUIP moms through the resources on this website. We hope to ENCOURAGE moms by answering questions and helping them with the practical aspects of what it means to be a mom. Through it all, we aim to INSPIRE moms with Biblical truth and confidence in who they are in Christ as well as in the great job they are doing as a wife and mother.

Won’t you join us for the journey? Come be part of our community! We’d love to get to know you!

What is a GEMS Fellowship Group?

Ever wish you could spend some time with other moms who take the same approach to parenting? GEMS® Fellowship Groups provide an opportunity to do just that! Ladies from all stages of life and motherhood come together to give and receive Godly encouragement in our roles as wife, mother and homemaker.
Currently, our certified Contact Moms lead the GEMS® fellowship groups for moms desiring additional teaching, encouragement, answers to their parenting questions, and fellowship with other moms. GEMS® Fellowship Groups are a means to continue the discipleship for moms who have completed the GFI curricula and/or On Becoming series of books.

GEMS(R) Fellowship Groups Mission Statement

To provide fellowship with other like-minded Moms as well as encouragement, teaching and timely answer to questions. GEMS® Fellowship Groups will also provide continued accountability in application of the principles found in the GFI classes and the On Becoming book series. It is our desire to glorify God, to be daily witnesses for our Lord Jesus Christ, and to work alongside of our husbands to raise children who glorify God by making moral decisions based on Scriptural principles. 

Is There a Group Near Me?

While the GEMS® Fellowship Groups currently meet across the world, we admittedly don’t have groups in every city, let alone every state.  For those moms without a group nearby especially, we want to welcome you to our online community. Through the miracles of modern technology, though we are miles are part, we are as close as our fingertips! Please see following a list of the current active groups that we are aware of. If you are aware of an additional group, please let us know via e-mail.

What About Me? Can I Lead a Group?

Because GEMS(r) Fellowship Groups are an officially trademarked name, it is our policy at this time to require that all groups be led by a Certified Contact Mom.  If you are a Contact Mom and would like to begin a group in your area, please touch base with your coordinator.  If you are not currently a Contact Mom but would like to look into becoming one, please check out How to Become a Contact Mom.  This is a ministry to other moms who desire additional teaching and who are interested in working through the GFI curricula and/or the On Becoming series.
