“...the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."

Rev. 4:10-11

What is DOXA?

DOXA is a weekend retreat, for students in grades 9-12, hosted at Nipawin Bible College. DOXA (δόξα) is the Greek word for "glory". We read in Revelation 4:11 of the 24 elders proclamation: “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” We pray that all who attend this event will see and acknowledge the glory of God, and will desire to walk in relationship with Him.
