About You
This journey is about you and your identity, not the "leaders" within NW Ekklesia. We're here to show you a path that can lead you into a level of maturity where you are functioning in who you were intended to be from the beginning of time. You have responsibility in your maturing process.
Everyone who identifies with NW Ekklesia is on their own journey of discovery into "Sonship." No one single person has all the answers because we learn from one other. As we all function from our seat of rest in a position of Love while seated IN Christ IN heavenly places, the old "self" falls away and we truly become a light to the world.
