About Our Troop

American Heritage Girls (AHG) is a Christ-centered and girl-centric program open to girls ages 5 to 18. At each AHG Program Level, girls encounter new skills, experiences (including outdoor adventures), leadership roles, and chances to deepen their connection with the Lord.

We are proud and grateful to be chartered and supported by Living Stones Fellowship Church since the inception of AHG in September 2022. We strive to grow our troop and improve our program with each passing year.

Statement of Faith

"We believe that there is one Triune God–Father; Jesus Christ, 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."
