Daughters of the King (DOK) was birthed through the national COGBF women’s ministry. It was established to help teenage girls, ages 12-17, grow spiritually and become better equipped to face life’s challenges. DOK provides opportunities for mature women in Christ to transfer wisdom and to fellowship with teen girls, sharing opportunities, stories, and experiences that strengthen teen faith, identities, confidence, and interpersonal relationships across generations.

Daughters of the King (DOK), a ministry supported by First Lady DeLois McKnight, is calling for DOK youth ambassadors. This will be a group of teen girls, ages 12-18, who will serve as leaders for other COGBF teens across the national church body. DOK ambassadors will meet virtually with DOK advisors periodically throughout the year to help plan DOK conference sessions, national outreach efforts, and to better meet the needs of teen girls throughout the church body.

 

If you are interested in applying (or would like to nominate a youth) for the role of DOK Ambassador, please complete the DOK Ambassador application by clicking the link below and upload it in the contact portal above.
