religious congregation

A religious congregation is a community of individuals who share the same faith and come together for worship, prayer, and religious activities. It can also refer to an organized group within a religious order, such as monks or nuns, who live and work together according to specific spiritual commitments. Congregations provide spiritual support, foster fellowship, and often undertake community service or charitable work aligned with their beliefs. Overall, they serve as a collective expression of faith, nurturing members' spiritual growth and reinforcing shared religious values.
