Church comes from Greek ekklesia or something similar meaning a gathering together.
There are two dominant definitions of the word 'church' in Christendom. The first being the building or place of worship, ie., "Grace Bible Church". The second, literal definition is the collective group of Christians. There is the local church, ie, those who gather together on a Sunday in a church building, and there is the universal church, ie, all those who are followers of Christ gathered throughout the world, yet unified in their aim of glorifying God through His Son Christ Jesus, and winning other souls to Christ.
