A '''church''' is a collective Christian body, such as the [[Catholic Church]] or the total body of believers, but often is used in reference to a building in which worship, usually of a [[Christian]] nature, takes place.  

The term '''church''', over time, has been used to describe all of the following:

*All Christians who have ever lived, live currently, or will live in the future, regardless of personal denominational affiliation, membership or attendance (sometimes referred to as the "universal Church" or the "invisible Church")

*A group of believers organized in an individual [[congregation]] (e.g. the believers comprising the membership and regular attenders of [[Prestonwood Baptist Church]]), regardless of any denominational affiliation or lack thereof

*A group of congregations organized in a [[denomination]] (e.g. the [[Roman Catholic Church]] or the [[Southern Baptist Convention]])

*It is also used in reference to a building in which [[Christian]] worship takes place.
