The Assembly of God’s People

The English word church comes from a German word that was borrowed from Greek, but it’s not the Greek word used throughout the New Testament. The Greek word translated “church” in English means something different, and it’s meaning has an insightful history in the Greek language. It’s important to know what one means when referring to “the church” — it’s not a building, at least, not in the literal sense. By church, we mean a gathering of God’s people who have answered His call to assemble not only in this age but also from all ages.
