That's okay! Our goal is that every girl feels seen, welcomed and included — even if she walks into club not knowing anyone. Girls sit at tables with consistent table leaders and other girls each week, which helps friendships and connection grow naturally over time.

Absolutely! Girls are encouraged to invite friends to club throughout the year. Clubs often grow naturally through girl-to-girl invitation. Visitors are welcome to attend once as a guest before registering so clubs can be sure to have enough supplies and materials for everyone.

Not at all. Whether your girl has been in church her whole life or has never cracked open a Bible, we want her to know there's a place for her at VESSELS. Clubs are made up of girls from different schools, backgrounds and levels of church experience.

Girls choose where they sit during the first few weeks of club, which allows them time to meet new girls, reconnect with friends and find where they feel most comfortable.Tables are typically “set” around the third club meeting. Girls are encouraged to arrive on time that week because this will become their table for the remainder of the year, allowing them to build deeper relationships with both their table leader and the girls sitting around them.Tables are intentionally mixed by grade level because we want to encourage friendships and mentoring relationships that go beyond girls simply being with others their exact age.Because of this process, clubs do not take seating or table requests. However, if there are important behavioral concerns, personality dynamics or situations that would help your girl succeed and thrive at club, please communicate those to your club director.If a girl brings a friend to club, that guest will automatically sit with the girl who invited her.Occasionally, tables may grow beyond capacity and need to split, but girls are never moved individually — they move together with a small group of friends.
