Daughters of the King (DOK)
The DOK is a lay order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, or who belong to a church in communion with the Episcopal Church. We are called an order because each Daughter pledges herself to a life of prayer, service, and evangelism with the mission of extending Christ’s Kingdom in the world. Our meetings consist of a Daughter Check-In, intercessory prayers, a short business meeting, and a book study.

Episcopal Church Women (ECW)
All women of the church are automatically members. The ECW gathers to share fellowship, study, pray, and serve the Lord, Church and community. ECW's fundraising enables outreach to ministries both local and global. As the business portion of our meetings has diminished, our gatherings are primarily for fellowship. Members contribute food, funding, and assistance for the many events throughout the year.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
If you love to knit or crochet, this ministry is for you.

Each crafted item is blessed and given to the person as a token symbolizing strength and comfort to its recipient.

In addition to greeting and helping people know their way around the church, ushers and greeters also collect the offering during Sunday worship. Lastly, members of this ministry may also serve at weddings, funerals, and music programs throughout the year.
