New Testament
Nympha
A believer in Colossae who hosted a house church for the local congregation.
Nympha is mentioned in Paul's letter to the Colossians as a host for a church meeting in her home. Her significance lies in the early church's reliance on private residences for communal worship and fellowship. While some ancient manuscripts suggest the name may be masculine, the Greek text identifies her as a woman who played a vital role in the local assembly.
