Home›Religious and Sacred Buildings›Building Type›Church (Building)ConceptChurch (Building)Building Types and Traditions as ConceptsReference and ClassificationDevelopingA church, also called a church building or church house, is a building used for Christian worship services and other Christian religious activities. The cited article says the earliest identified Christian church is a house church founded between 233 and 256 AD, and that the word church is sometimes used erroneously to refer to the buildings of other religions, such as mosques and synagogues. It adds that church is also used to describe a body or assembly of Christian believers, while the Church may be used for the worldwide Christian religious community as a whole, and that in traditional Christian architecture the plan view of a church often forms a Christian cross. Buildings recorded in the atlas as churches are grouped under this concept.FactsChurch (Building)ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsConcept DomainWell-attestedChristian worship
