The term church is a translation of a Greek word having to do with a meeting together or an “assembly” (1 Thessalonians 2:14; 2 Thessalonians 1:1).
Moja ya maneno ina maana ya kukutana pamoja au "mkusanyiko" (1 Wathesalonike 2:14; 2 Wathesalonike 1:1). Neno hili ndilo linahusiana na kazi ya Mungu katika kuokoa na kutakauza waumini "wale walioitwa."
