A church is where you go for a public religious service. On Easter, some people go to church to pray.
Church derives from the Greek word kuriakon (doma) meaning “Lord's (house).” A public building or place mainly used for worship, a church can be modest in structure and appearance or large and ornate, with stained glass windows and a grand interior. Inside a church, you are said to attend church, which is a service given by a religious official that helps guide worship. Church can also refer to the group of people you see regularly at Sunday's service.
