ekklesia (eck-clay-see-uh)

1. Greek word meaning "assembly", used to refer to the church in the New Testament
2. The college ministry of Peninsula Bible Church
3. A collection of students from Stanford University, Santa Clara University, Foothill College, and De Anza College during the academic year
4. A mostly different community of college students who live near Palo Alto for the summer
5. A cool word that makes you sound like you know Greek even if you don't
