Welcome to Ekklesia Ministries Online
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.' An ekklesia or 'calling out' was not just an assembly.
The word ekklesia was a political term, not a religious term. Jesus was the King and the Bible used the term ekklesia for a good reason. In Greek "ekklesia" meant "an assembly of citizens summoned by the legislative assembly."
The word Church was not the choice of words for the Greek ekklesia but what men often mean unto evil God turns to good. The word Church which has its origin in lordship has come to mean exactly what Jesus intended from a certain point of view. This may not be so in the average dictionary or in the minds of most people but its evolved definition where it counts is strangely accurate.
The ekklesia of Jesus Christ was founded and established by Jesus Christ almost 2000 years ago. It was a government established by Jesus the Christ, the anointed King and appointed to look after His Kingdom.
Building upon these biblical terms, a basic definition of the nature of the church can easily be comprehended. The Church consists of an assembly or congregation of believers who have been called out and belong to God.
This biblical truth is indicated by Luke in his gospels (6:12-17) After Jesus spent all
night in prayer He called unto him his disciples and from among them he choose twelve who would play the most dominant role in the early church or the Ekklesia of God in the earth.
