Which group of churches is associated with Paul's time in Ephesus?

• A. The Seven Churches of the Apocalypse
• B. The Seven Churches of Asia
• C. The Seven Churches of Galatia
• D. The Seven Churches of Rome

Answer: (A)

Paul’s time in Ephesus happened in the Roman province of Asia. The churches tied to that region are the seven congregations in Asia Minor that Revelation addresses, commonly called the Seven Churches of Asia. Ephesus is one of these seven, so this group is the most direct fit for linking Paul’s Ephesus ministry to a broader church group. The term Apocalypse points to the book of Revelation where these same seven churches are addressed, but the question is about the regional group associated with that era and location. The other options refer to different regions or contexts (Galatia or Rome, or the Revelation text itself) and don’t match Paul’s Asia-based ministry around Ephesus.
