What is Ekklesia?

A Ministry Impacting Generations for the Kingdom of God.

The word 'church' in the New Testament is translated from the Greek word 'ekklesia' which comes from two words 'ek' meaning 'out' and 'kaleo' meaning to 'call.' For the Greeks, the word ‘ekklesia’ had more political connotation than religious, referring mainly to "an assembly of citizens summoned by the legislative assembly." However, an ekklesia or 'calling out' was not just an assembly. The term was also used to describe a gathering of members whom Jesus, being King, had summoned or called out. The ‘ekklesia’ or ‘church’ of Jesus Christ was founded and established by our Lord almost 2,000 years ago. It was a government established by the anointed King, Jesus the Christ, which was appointed to look after His Kingdom.
