Drawing Near to God Ministry

Drawing Near to God Ministry Drawing Near to God is a non-profit and non-denominational women’s ministry founded by Joanne Ellison. Therefore, we need to make space in our lives for Him.

DNG has expanded into an international ministry where women are being equipped to reach the lonely and poor in spirit Joanne's message is timeless and timely: God is here, He cares about you, He speaks today and He brings hope.

Meet Joanne ✨

What started as a simple desire to help women draw closer to Jesus became something much bigger than Joanne could have imagined.

In 2000, Joanne founded Drawing Near to God with a heart for creating a place where women could find biblical truth, authentic community, and encouragement for every season of life. More than two decades later, that mission continues to impact women across generations. Joanne is passionate about teaching God’s Word, helping women discover their identity in Christ, and reminding them that they never have to walk alone. When she’s not leading studies or pouring into this community, she’s a proud mom of three and “Yiayia” to her 11 grandchildren. 💙

If you’ve ever attended a Bible study, opened a devotional, or found encouragement through DNG, you’ve experienced a piece of Joanne’s heart. We’re so grateful for her faithfulness, leadership, and the countless ways she helps women draw near to God every day!

Making friends as an adult is hard.

And pretending everything is “fine” when it’s not?
Even harder.

You were never meant to do life alone.

That’s why spaces like DNG exist.
Not for perfect women, but for real ones
who want to grow in faith and find their people.

Join us for book club on Thursdays in April and May.
11am. St. Andrews, Mt. Pleasant.

You are not behind in life.
You are not late.
You are not missing it.

God is not rushing your story.

We live in a world that constantly tells us we should be further along.
in our careers, relationships, faith…

But God works differently.
He builds slowly. Intentionally. Personally.

If you’ve been feeling behind, this is your reminder:
You’re exactly where you need to be.

Grief is the cost of loving deeply. 💔

When we experience loss, it can feel overwhelming, but grief is also a reflection of the love we were blessed to share. In our latest blog, Joanne reflects on how God meets us in the middle of our sorrow and gently walks with us through it.

If you’re carrying grief today, this encouragement is for you.

Waiting can wear us down, but what if God is inviting us to pray with bold, shameless audacity instead?

In the latest blog from Drawing Near to God, Elise shares how Luke 11 reshaped the way we can approach prayer — especially in seasons of longing and delay.

If you need courage to keep asking, seeking, and knocking, this is for you.

At Drawing Near to God, we believe every woman is called to lead. In her home. In her church. And in her community.

And that leadership has a ripple effect that can last for generations.

Our Thursday morning program in Mt. Pleasant creates space for you to grow in faith, confidence, and community alongside other women who will encourage and strengthen you. And through our DNG Equipping Box, you can be trained and equipped to lead a group anywhere God calls you.

Join us and step into the leader you were meant to be.
