What is Kaleo? This is the Greek source word, which Bible translators render as "the called". Kaleo's vision is to be a biblical community that teaches God's Word as well as engages those around us with the message of good news of Jesus Christ. In this effort we primarily preach verse-by-verse through books of the Bible to learn what God's Word says and secondly we desire to live evangelistically understanding our culture so that we can best speak the good news to them.
