The church is not a building as most people refer to it. In scripture, the word church comes from the Greek word "ekklesia", a general term referring to a gathering or assembly. Second, church is not an event or something for which people assemble that takes place at a specific time. Instead of focusing on an event in which people gather, church is centered on THE event—Christ saving a people to Himself. The church is a people gathered in all of life to Jesus; the ones who build their whole lives around Jesus as King, Lord and Savior, loving each other in dramatic ways. You do not go to church, you are the church whenever and wherever you go in the world.
