About Christian Miss

Christian Miss exists to empower young women to develop as leaders, embrace faith-based values, and serve their communities. In a world where young women often struggle with self-worth, direction, and positive role models, our program fills a crucial gap by fostering personal growth in a nurturing environment of Christian sisters and mentors.

Our Response

Christian Miss is dedicated to empowering girls and young women, ages 4-26, to recognize their immutable value, maintain their God-given identity, and develop into confident, purpose-driven individuals. Through our programs—including leadership workshops, Bible studies, community service initiatives, and the Tiny Temples Healthy Kids program, and our beloved annual Nationals event—we provide these young women with the tools, mentorship, and community they need to navigate life’s challenges while staying true to their Christian values. We envision a world where young women boldly impact their communities and generation with faith-driven leadership, boldness, and compassion.

PURPOSE

To empower and inspire generations of young women to confidently live out their God-given purpose while becoming compassionate leaders and role models in their communities and beyond.

PROMISE

We vow never to ask our participants to compromise their faith. We foster an environment where their spiritual integrity is honored and strengthened. Guided by our deep responsibility to God, we are dedicated to equipping our young women with the tools they need to live confidently and purposefully, showing anyone the true beauty of a masterpiece

created by our Master.

MISSION

To provide young women a unique opportunity for personal and spiritual growth within a nurturing community of Christian sisters and mentors.

Statement of Faith

At Christian Miss, we are committed to nurturing a community where faith is deepened, character is strengthened, and every young woman is empowered to shine the light of Christ in her sphere of influence. All staff, volunteers, state directors, and participants must agree with our Statement of Faith.

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, guiding us in faith and life. We believe in one God, existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father is our loving Creator, and Jesus Christ, His Son, is our Savior who lived, died, and rose again to bring us salvation. Through faith in Jesus, we are forgiven, transformed, and adopted into God’s family. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live for Christ, guiding us in truth and service. We are called to share His love and message with the world. We are committed to living lives that reflect Christ’s love, growing in faith, and fulfilling our God-given purpose through compassion, service, and discipleship.

Our mission is to guide young women toward discovering their true identity in Christ and walking confidently in their God-given purpose. We believe that a relationship with Jesus Christ impacts not only our spiritual growth, but also our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Through community service, leadership development, and discipleship, we aim to equip young women with the tools they need to flourish in every area of life, grounded in biblical principles.

5 Points of the Crown

If you see a Christian Miss girl in a crown, you should know that it has meaning. Everything we do has purpose, even when it comes to wearing large, sparkling head gear. The 5 points of the Christian Miss national crown represent five core values that illustrate who we are and what our program participants agree to uphold as Christian Miss representativess.

We are called to be an example of Christ's love and to inspire others to live out their faith.

“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see - your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven." -Matthew 5:16

Influence

Our actions, words, and attitudes should reflect the fruits of the Spirit and set an example of Christian character.

Character

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." ~Galatians 5:22-23

We use our unique gifting, talents, and abilities to significantly impact the spiritual growth & development of others, to serve as stewards of God's grace and share His love with the world.

Impact

"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace."

-Peter 4:10

Principle

We commit to living a life that reflects Biblical principles, not just listening to them but actively applying them to our daily lives.

"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” -James 1:22

We help to create a positive and uplifting community and environment where Christian friendships can flourish and we can support and encourage one another in our faith journeys.

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

- Hebrews 10:24-25

Christian Miss is a pageant ministry. It’s a place where young women discover who they are in Christ. This system sees the beauty that is inside of you. Competing in this pageant system helped me build my confidence and encouraged me to build my relationship with God. As the 2022-2023 National Christian Miss, I was able to be of service in my community and showcase my personal platform #LetYourFroGlow. Christian Miss is a beautiful sisterhood and I’m so grateful to be apart of it. It helped me grow into the strong and empowered woman I am today.

~Jaylah Jones, 2022-2023 National Christian Miss

“I immediately fell in love with the Christian Miss pageant system right when I walked into check-in! I had an absolute blast at this pageant! Everything was so amazing! At the pageant, we had bible studies, formal wear, interview, platform presentation, and optionals. It was so much fun to get to know all of the girls and pray together daily. Our director, Yvette Barnes, had so much positive energy and is a true role model to me! ...This pageant truly bolstered my confidence in myself. I learned that I am God’s perfect image.”

~Vanessa Koelling, from the book Road To The Crown Vol. 2

"The Christian Miss National pageant was amazing. A week filled with positive energy and great pageantry. The event is held at the Historic Gorton Theater in beautiful Lake Forest Illinois. The stage was increadible and the seating very comfortable. Yvette and her team treated us girls like queens all week long. The staff was positive (only good vibes), joyful and professional. Cash prizes were awarded for optional titles in addition to the queens prize package. This pageant is good for both beginners and the pros. Six age divisions. I had a wonderful time and will definitely be back in the future!"
