About Ekklesia

What Does “Ekklesia” Mean?

When we read the word church in the Bible, we’re reading an English translation of the Greek word ekklesia – from the preposition ek, meaning out, and the verb kaleo meaning called. Ekklesia means God’s called-out people, the church.

Ekklesia is a non-denominational, independent Christian Church. We are not governed by any outside convention, church, or group of churches, though we do seek to work together with other churches and Christians to build up the Lord’s kingdom, the worldwide body of saved people called after his name. We provide events and ministries that will reach people in our community who don’t know Jesus. We heavily invest time and resources into ongoing discipleship beyond a conversion moment so that people adopt a deeper spiritual commitment that brings them to maturity in Christ. We continually empower people to take the gospel out, in obedience to Christ’s commission, by training them to reproduce disciples, and by pouring into the next generation.
