What is the church?
Dans la Bible, l’Église n’est pas un bâtiment mais les personnes : tous ceux qui appartiennent à Jésus, rassemblés localement pour adorer, grandir et servir, et unis dans le monde entier comme un seul corps dont Christ est la tête.

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.
