DAUGHTERS OF THE KING (DOTK)
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit, and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord." — 1 Corinthians 12:4-5
WHO ARE WE?
Daughters of the King (DOTK) is the vibrant and dynamic women’s group at City of God, Jesus House Aberdeen. As part of the RCCG Good Women’s Fellowship UK, we are a diverse community of ladies from various walks of life, nationalities, and backgrounds, united by the love of God. Our devotion lies in enriching our lives through fellowship with God and with each other, creating a supportive and empowering environment for all women.
OUR VISION
Our vision aligns with the RCCG Good Women’s Fellowship globally:
- To foster holistic development so that every woman will fulfil God’s purpose for her life.
- To encourage women to discover, develop and maximise their God-given abilities.
- Foster unity amongst the women folk.
- Demonstrate the love of God to various groups of people both at home and abroad.
- Empower women to become vessels of honour in their ministries, marital relationships, parenting, and careers.
OUR JOURNEY
2005
The journey of DOTK began in 2005 with just three women, including female ministers andministers’ wives, led by then Deaconess Alero Igiehon.
Their mission was to minister to other female members in hospitality, support with newborns, and child-minding. From these humble beginnings, the group grew steadily, reaching over 70 members by 2013.
2005 - 2013
Between 2005 and 2013, the group was simply referred to as the Good Women’s Fellowship, and under the
leadership of Assistant Pastor Alero Igiehon, held discussions after Sunday services, fostering a close-knit community. As the group expanded, Pastor Alero appointed female leaders
to manage the Fellowship, formally instituting an Executive committee in September 2013.
2016
In October 2016, the group was renamed ‘Daughters of the King’, based on recommendations to ensure inclusivity of all women, whether single or married, young and old.

FAQs
Are there any membership fees or contributions expected?
There are no membership fees. Tithing (10% of income) is taught as a biblical principle and personal spiritual discipline, not a requirement. Ministry programmes including children’s church are generally free to attend.
What community outreach programmes does JHA offer?
JHA runs a food bank, health awareness events, skills workshops, festive outreach, and volunteers with local charities addressing homelessness, poverty, and education across Aberdeen.
How does JHA compare to other RCCG branches in Scotland for youth programmes?
A large church like JHA offers diverse age-specific ministries, professional production, a large peer community, and broad community impact. Smaller fellowships offer tighter community feel. The best choice depends on personal preference for size and ministry needs.
