House of God

Where believers gather

A house of God is a building dedicated to religious worship—a church, temple, mosque, synagogue, or similar sacred space.

The phrase emphasizes the structure as a dwelling place for the divine or a place where humans encounter the sacred: Remove your hat in the house of God.

Sometimes used figuratively for any place treated with reverence.
