American Heritage Girls / Trail Life
The American Heritage Girls and Trail Life troops for the Champaign-Urbana area (IL-3021) are hosted at Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church.
American Heritage Girls is dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country. AHG girls across the nation and the globe participate in badge programs, service projects, leadership opportunities, and outdoor experiences, all with an emphasis on Christian values and family involvement.
Trail Life USA is a church-based, Christ-centered, boy-focused mentoring and discipleship journey established on timeless values derived from the Bible and set in the context of outdoor adventure. Boys from age 5 to 17 are engaged in a Troop setting by male mentors where they are challenged to grow in character, understand their purpose, serve their community, and develop practical leadership skills.
What We Believe
- We believe in one God, revealed in the Holy Trinity - God, the Father, God, the Son (Jesus Christ), God, the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that God is love, a love so great and deep that He desires people to come to eternal "Saving" Faith in Jesus Christ. People come to eternal "Saving" faith when they realize and accept, that in God’s love, He provided the required sacrifice for sins. That sacrifice was Jesus Christ, His One and Only Son. Therefore, every person who repents of their sins and accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, will spend eternity in Heaven when they leave this earth.
- We believe the Bible is the holy Word of God.
- We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back and will rapture His church from this earth.
- We believe the Christians should worship the Jesus in Spirit and in truth and faithfully.
- We believe that we should genuinely strive to honor the Lord with our lives.
