church community
Flock of believers
A church community is the people who belong to a particular church, considered as a social group.
The phrase emphasizes shared bonds—worship, belief, mutual support—rather than the institution itself: The church community rallied around the family after the fire.
It can refer to a single congregation or to Christians collectively in a locality.
