The word “Church” comes from this word:

The word Trinity appears nowhere in scripture. That doesn’t make the Trinity any less real.

What Greek lexicon are you using? Mine say something like this:

ekklesia: that which is called out

or this,

ek-klay-see’-ah; a calling out, (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both): — assembly, church.
