What is the church?

The church is the community of all believers in Jesus Christ—His body on earth. It's not primarily a building but people called out by God to worship Him, grow together, and serve the world. The local church gathers for worship, teaching, fellowship, and mission.
Why this answer? It starts with 1 Corinthians 12:27, then cross-checks Matthew 16:18 and Hebrews 10:25 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
