Faith chapter

The Order of the Daughters of the King® (DOK) is an international religious order for women who wish to experience greater community, structure, and discipline in their spiritual lives. Members dedicate themselves to a life of daily prayer, service to the church and community, and Christ's call to share the good news of the gospel in word and action.

Saint Philip's is home to the Faith chapter of DOK. It meets from 11:00am-12:30pm on the 2nd and 4th Monday each month in the Ferguson Room. For more information, please contact parishioner Liz Weber at snakelady41@comcast.net or visit the Daughters of the King website.

Members take life-long vows to follow the order's Rule of Prayer and Rule of Service, and gather every week for prayer and fellowship. The group prays for each member of Saint Philip's, its clergy and ministry leaders, remembering the living and the departed.

The Order was founded on Easter Eve, April 4, 1885, at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Sepulcher, now known as the Church of the Resurrection, in New York City. The Order was founded by Margaret J. Franklin as the outgrowth of a Bible class and named Daughters of the King.

Within seven years, fifty chapters had formed and the National Order of the Daughters of the King was established. By the following year, 1893, the Order’s membership had grown to 8,000 and the first national convention of the Daughters of the King was held.

Since that time, chapters have spread throughout the world. Today there are chapters located throughout the United States, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Africa, and India, and its members include women in the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church, the Lutheran Church (ECLA), and the Roman Catholic Church.
