General Description

In this hour of the Church when God is restoring proper apostolic order to His Body and demanding accountability from His leaders, the House of Elijah has been established to provide proper biblical covering for senior pastors and their churches.  In seeking to obtain covering, any senior pastor, having been led by the Spirit of God to submit themselves beneath the fathering care of Bishop Neil C. Ellis, may endeavor to do so through this ministry.

Once accepted into the family, that senior pastor will then enter into covenant with Bishop Ellis and the existing members of this household.  The biblical model upon which this ministry is based is taken from II Kings 2:1-10and as the text suggests, all persons who truly connect and submit should expect to receive a “double portion” of the anointing that is upon the father.

Through this body, those in covenant together will seek to corporately enter into spiritual activities as well as corporate endeavors in order to advance and further establish the kingdom of God here on earth.
