Abstract
The word Church originated from two Greek words (Ampitan, 2012: 120)EK meaning “out” and Kaleo meaning to “to call” (Babalola, 2006:2). The combination of the two then gives Ekkaleo. Essentially, this is the Greek word that was used to translate the Hebrew word Kahad to denote the assembly of the Israelites (Babalola, 2006:2).Similarly, in the Christian usage, it is glaring that the term really signifies the gathering of people who (Ampitan, 2012: 120)“were once in darkness of false religions or teachings but now called out into the marvelous light of the Lord Jesus Christ (Babalola, 2006:2).
