house of God
Where believers gather
A house of God is a place of worship—a church, temple, mosque, synagogue, or other sacred building where religious services are held.
The phrase emphasizes the structure as consecrated ground where the divine is believed to dwell or be honored: They removed their hats upon entering the house of God.
