About Be A Lady Purity Group

Be A Lady Purity Group is faith based organization whose mission is to connect and inspire young girls to make a personal commitment to live pure in Christ. Unlike other "purity groups," Be A Lady is not exclusive to "church girls," but in contrast reaching beyond the walls of the church to reach young girls in the community. The goal of Be A Lady is to partner with local government, schools and churches to create a generation of young girls committed to being a lady of character, respect and integrity.

The group has imparted lessons on etiquette, social media, self-esteem, and purpose-driven living. These young ladies learn civic responsibility, and through its partnership with Flipper Temple A.M.E. Church, under the pastorship of Rev. Augusta H. Hall, Jr., have participated with the gift distribution to children in the community and adopted a teen for Christmas through the Angel Tree Foundation.

The organization hosts events outside of the monthly sessions to encourage fellowship, invite other girls, and provide positive support to one another.
