About Us
"Ekklesia" is a Greek word meaning "the called-out ones." It refers to the local gatherings or segments of the Body of Christ. In the New Testament, God established the Ekklesia as a pattern for those who love Him and desire to live according to His will. This is more than just a church—it is a community of believers united in purpose, mind, and spirit, living out their faith in a way that honors God.
