Church:

Middle English chirche,
from Old English cirice,
ultimately from Medieval Greek krikon,
from Late Greek kriakon (dma), the Lord's (house),
neuter of Greek kriakos, of the lord,
from krios, lord;

With love in Christ.

Some English versions of the Bible use “church” in texts pertaining to the Christian congregation, as at 1 Corinthians 16:19. (AS; KJ)
Since many persons think of a church as a building for religious services rather than a congregation engaging in worship, the rendering “church” can be misleading.
In the Christian Greek Scriptures the Greek word rendered “congregation” is ek·kle·si′a, from which the English word “ecclesia” is derived
The Greek word ek·kle·si′a is employed in the Septuagint at times to translate the Hebrew word qa·hal′, as at Psalm 22:22 "I will declare your name to my brothers; In the middle of the congregation I shall praise you."
Therefore the word "church" really is a group of people gathered together for a particular purpose or activity.
