congregants
Gathered worship community
Congregants are the members of a congregation, especially those gathered for religious worship.
The word typically refers to people attending a church, synagogue, mosque, or other place of worship: The congregants rose for the benediction.
Unlike clergy, congregants are the laypeople in the pews.
