What is the church?
En la Biblia, la iglesia no es un edificio sino las personas: todos los que pertenecen a Jesús, reunidos localmente para adorar, crecer y servir, y unidos en todo el mundo como un solo cuerpo cuya cabeza es Cristo.

The word translated “church” means an assembly or gathering of people. So the church is first of all people, not a place — believers called together by God.
The New Testament pictures the church as a body with many parts (1 Corinthians 12), each member belonging to the others, with Christ as the head. It is both local (a particular congregation) and universal (all Christians everywhere, across time).
Christians gather to worship God, hear his word, encourage one another, share in baptism and communion, and serve their neighbors — living out their faith together rather than alone.
