church building
Place of congregation
A church building is the physical structure where a Christian congregation gathers for worship.
The term distinguishes the edifice from the church as a body of believers or institution: The church building needs a new roof, but the church itself is thriving.
It clarifies when discussing architecture, real estate, or maintenance rather than spiritual matters.
