Answer 2

Do you mean "What IS the importance of the Church for Christians?"

Origins of the term "Church"
A Church is widely known as a building used for public religious services, usually referring specifically to those for Christian worship, it also popularly refers to the group/body of persons that share faith based in Christianity. All other uses extend from this (Judeo-Christian) and related contexts.

It's use originated in the Bible, by Jesus, a Hebrew from Nazareth, the penultimate character in the Bible. He used this term "Church" (ref. Strong's Concordance - 1557) which was governmental/political, used in ways such as: "Ecclesia", assembly, congregation or council of common objective. Literally meaning a "convocation", see Ecclesia (Church), Ecclesia (ancient Athens). It is a team that worked together to resolve a problem faced by the wider community or society, it was not a "building".

In the Bible, the term was never used before this, Jesus used the term "temple" on many other occations (e.g. Mark 14:49) (ref. Strong's Concordance - 2413), but this use of "church" was something clearly disparate. Matt 16:18 "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.".

A logical definition of the word "church" (in the context) is the senate/congress or team, that works to bring solutions to problems, in the forms and methodologies of Christ.
