FACTORS MILITATING AGAINST THE GROWTH OF SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN OKUTALA COMMUNITY, MORO LOCAL GOVERNMENT KWARA STATE
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The word church is a translation of the Greek ekklesia, which means “a calling out.” The Septuagint, the Greek version of the Hebrew O.T. uses the Hebrew qahal, which stands for “gathering,’ “assembly,” or “congregation” (Deut. 9:10; 18:16; 1 Sam. 17:47; 1 Chron. 13:2). The proper definition for the church is “the body of Christ, a community of faith of which Christ Himself is the Head. The church is the bride for whom Christ died that He might sanctify and cleanse her” (Seventh-day Adventists (SDAs) Believe), 2013)[1].
