Who is NW Ekklesia?

Ekklesia Functions

When God looks at us, he recognizes one position. He sees His sons. When we look through our elders and back to God, we should see one position. Parents! Ekklesia first and foremost functions as family. Our brothers and sisters are held together by a bond of affection. Many times, that care for one another is stronger than the relationships we have with our biological family.

We are kingdom people. We live ascended lives.

We are passionately in love with God and each other!

Our History

NW Ekklesia is registered as a 508 non-profit in the states of Montana and Idaho. NW Ekklesia meets in homes, online, and together at events. 

2009 — Healing team training started through Healing Rooms of Spokane.
2012 — Fellowship began at Anna Wingate’s house in Seattle.
2013 — Anna Wingate met Mike Parsons and began a mentoring relationship that continues today.
2014 — Worship transitioned to drum circles and seeing in the spirit.
2015 — Mike Parsons visited NW Ekklesia  headlined the Deep Call to Deep conference  — our most popular YouTube playlist. From that conference, benches and councils were formed.
2016 — Del Hungerford joined us and expanded our unique form of worship
2017 — NW Ekklesia started teaching courses and mentoring with other Ekklesiae. It was a time of greater understanding of ascensions, worship, and this new move of God.
2018 — This is the year God said to us, “Do it yourself.” We stopped deferring to others, realizing that we had within our own Ekklesia a rich culture and identity. We stepped into the clarity of who we are.
2019 — NW Ekklesia began walking in the fullness of our identity.
2025 — Growth and expansion continues as we step into a new season as some call this “next age.”
