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.Cultural and Historical Background: 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>1577 ekklēsía(from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">1537</a> /ek, "out from and to" and <a href="/greek/2564.htm">2564</a> /kaléō, "to call") – properly, people called out from the world and to God, the outcome being the Church (the mystical body of Christ) – i.e. the universal (total) body of believers whom God calls out from the world and into His eternal kingdom.[The English word "church" comes from the Greek word kyriakos, "belonging to the Lord" (kyrios). <a href="/greek/1577.htm">1577</a> /ekklēsía ("church") is the root of the terms "ecclesiology" and "ecclesiastical."]<iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/2564.htm">kaleó</a> Definition an assembly, a (religious) congregation NASB Translation assembly (3), church (74), churches (35), congregation (2).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div>STRONGS NT 1577: ἐκκλησία ἐκκλησία, ἐκκλεσιας, ἡ (from ἔκκλητος called out or forth, and this from ἐκκαλέω); properly, a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place; an assembly; so used 1. among the Greeks from Thucydides (cf.
