Ekklesia is the New Testament Greek term for assembly or congregation. Never has this word referred to a building, but rather a group of people. After Jesus died on the cross and sent the Holy Spirit, the term ‘ekklesia’ gained further meaning. It became the name for the early group of people who trusted in Jesus as their Savior; it was the name for the early church. We long for the same passion and desire of the early ekklesia.
To make disciples of Jesus in our cities and beyond.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20.
