According to the Bible, the church is the Body of Christ - all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation (John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 12:13). There are members of the universal church (the Body of Christ) in local churches.

The place where everyone is welcome to pray and be apart of the body of Christ. It's also a place to seek advice from God and the father of the church. You can help out the church in many different ways. Its a place of prayer and shelter from the outside wold

All genuine Christian believers combined are the Church or body of Christ.
The church is not an organisation or building in the true sense of the word.

If I'm not mistaken Jesus made an allusion to himself as being the church, when he said he could rebuild it in 3 days. I'm a little rusty on some parts of my past studies.

I don't go to CHURCH. It is too political. I dont belong to a church, BUT church is where I make it and it is everywhere. God is with me even at Starbucks.

My definition really doesn't matter but the bible says where two or more are gathered in Jesus Christ name; Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

i don't think that the church isn't a building it is what is inside of you. I also think that you can have church where there aren't many gathered, as long as you are praising God.
