faith community
Shared belief group
A faith community is a group of people who share religious beliefs and practice them together.
The term is broader and more inclusive than "church" or "congregation," encompassing any religious group regardless of tradition: The interfaith council brought together faith communities from across the city.
It emphasizes shared belief and mutual support over institutional structure.
