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!

NW Ekklesia

NW Ekklesia is registered as a 508 non-profit in the states of Montana and Idaho. 

NW Ekklesia is an equipping center with the purpose to train, equip, and release people into their true identity and calling, to manifest heaven on earth through divinely aligned dimensions. NW Ekklesia is a faith-based organization called to raise others up into the fullness of their calling by helping them understand their true identity, breaking free from hindrances, receiving healing on all levels (spirit, soul, and body), identifying their gifts and destiny, and equipping and supporting them in their unique gifts and callings. Our community progresses in relationship with God and each other.

Our goals are:

  • To live a spiritual lifestyle, open to revelation of the mysteries of the kingdom of God. We each live in intimate communion with God. From that relationship, we learn, we live it, and only then can we teach it. Then we can be promoted to His next level of authority and responsibility.
  • Face-to-face gatherings where we foster personal relationship with the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
  • To reach people who are looking for their tribe, who have a hunger to expand beyond the four-walls of a church building, and who are hungry to bring heaven on earth in practical ways through the way they live their life. We want to help people walk through life challenges with godly support, such as fellowship, love, non-judgmental perspectives, teachings, mentoring, etc. 

NW Ekklesia History

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.

2023 — Anna Wingate “graduates” to her heavenly position.

2025 — Growth and expansion continues as we step into a new season as we learn to “govern” this next age.
