It is translated as "church" in most English Bibles. The term emphasizes the collective nature of believers who are "called out" from the world to follow Christ. It can refer to both local congregations and the universal body of Christ.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, "ekklēsia" referred to a civic assembly of citizens called out for a specific purpose, such as decision-making or governance. In the context of the New Testament, the term was adopted to describe the community of Christians who gathered for worship, teaching, fellowship, and the observance of the sacraments. The early church was distinct from Jewish synagogues and pagan temples, forming a new identity centered on faith in Jesus as the Messiah.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1577</b> <i>ekklēsía</i>(from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">1537</a> <i>/ek</i>, "<i>out from</i> and <i>to</i>" and <a href="/greek/2564.htm">2564</a> <i>/kaléō</i>, "to call") – properly, people <i>called out from</i> the world and to God, the <i>outcome</i> being the <i>Church</i> (the mystical <i>body of Christ</i>) – i.e. the universal (total) body of believers whom God calls <i>out</i> from the world and <i>into</i> His eternal kingdom.</p><p class="discovery">[The <i>English</i> word "<i>church</i>" comes from the Greek word <i>kyriakos</i>, "belonging to the Lord" (<i>kyrios</i>). <a href="/greek/1577.htm">1577</a> <i>/ekklēsía</i> ("church") is the root of the terms "ecclesiology" and "ecclesiastical."]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/2564.htm">kaleó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an assembly, a (religious) congregation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>assembly (3), church (74), churches (35), congregation (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1577: ἐκκλησία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκκλησία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐκκλεσιας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">ἔκκλητος</span> called out or forth, and this from <span class="greek2">ἐκκαλέω</span>); properly, <span class="accented">a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place; an assembly</span>; so used <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> among the Greeks from <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 3, 142) down, <span class="accented">an assembly of the people</span> convened at the public place of council for the purpose of deliberating: <a href="/interlinear/acts/19-39.htm">Acts 19:39</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> often equivalent to <span class="hebrew">קָהָל</span>, <span class="accented">the assembly of the Israelites,</span> <a href="/interlinear/judges/21-8.htm">Judges 21:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/29-1.htm">1 Chronicles 29:1</a>, etc., especially when gathered for sacred purposes, <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/31-30.htm">Deuteronomy 31:30</a> (<a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32-1.htm">Deuteronomy 32:1</a>); <a href="/interlinear/joshua/8-35.htm">Joshua 8:35</a> (<a href="/interlinear/joshua/9-8.htm">Joshua 9:8</a>), etc.; in the N.
