Picnic and conversation at Del's house for dinner! (Begins at 6:30 PM) This will be pot-luck style for those who can contribute. NW Ekklesia will provide meat, water, and a couple side dishes.
The 2026 Gathering was all about community and family. This means we like to eat meals together when possible!
At this time, we're looking into having Sodexo cater lunch on campus both Friday and Saturday for those who want to be together for meals. Catering would be an extra fee in addition to conference attendance. It will require a certain number of meals ordered for this option to work. The other option is to pick a local restaurant and make reservations. As it gets closer to the 2027 conference date, meal options will be announced via this page.

Snack Bar!
What to bring...
It was suggested at the 2026 Gathering that we have a snack bar for the conference. Many people took it upon themselves to bring muffins, drinks, water, sweet things, crackers, chips, granola bars, etc. We set up a table where these items were placed and people could indulge as they saw fit. If you have a vehicle and can stop at the store to bring some of your favorite snacks, we encourage you to participate!
The Gathering Focus...

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.
Your identity...
The real you!

As described in ancient texts, the elements are the fundamental ingredients in any creative process whether you’re a Jew, Buddhist, Christian, Atheist, or Muslim. All religions, including atheism (because it’s a belief system)
Is There a Key of David?
by Del Hungerford In this article, we get into some geeky musically scientific information. This post is also on the Healing Frequences Music webstie but here, we address the spiritual aspects of the question "Is there a key of David." When I get asked, people assume there's a specific musical
