Church (Christian institution)

A church, in the Christian context, is both a community of believers and a physical building where they gather for worship, prayer, and religious activities. It serves as a place for spiritual growth, learning about Christian teachings, and fostering fellowship among members. Churches often organize services, sacraments, and charitable work, guided by religious leaders like pastors or priests. Beyond its physical presence, the church embodies the collective faith and mission of Christians to serve others and live according to Christian principles. It plays a central role in shaping individual faith and community life within Christianity.
