About
We are Daughters of Abba—lovers of God’s presence.
Every day, we shine brightly for our families and in our workplaces. Yet, our hearts yearn to shine even brighter, knowing we can accomplish more together than apart.
We are based in Columbia, Missouri and gather as a small group in each other’s homes and within our community—sharing meals, diving into the Word, and worshiping together. We pray for one another, living out Acts 2:44 with joy and gladness.
Our Mission
We are not affiliated with any specific church or denomination—just Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven. At Daughters of Abba, we understand the challenges you face: feeling isolated, carrying emotional wounds, or longing for deeper, authentic relationships with other women of faith. You deserve a safe space to share your journey and grow.
What We Offer
Our community is designed to provide the support you need. We offer a Spirit-led biblical community where you can connect with others who understand your journey, fostering deep relationships built on Jesus, trust and encouragement.
Here, you can:
-
- Share your story in a safe and supportive setting.
- Find healing for emotional and spiritual wounds through biblical truths.
- Grow in your faith alongside women who inspire and uplift you.
Daughters of Abba is more than just a small group; it’s a place where to reclaim your identity in Christ and experience the freedom of authentic, biblical community.
Though this group was birthed from the heart and vision of Jemese LaChel, a Spirit-led trauma therapist and founder of Grace Abides Christian Counseling, let’s be clear: this group belongs to the Lord. It’s not a therapy group, but it’s certainly therapeutic—a healing space for Christian women who are ready to grow deeper in grace, faith, and freedom.
Your voice matters, and we can’t wait to welcome you into this growing family of faith.
