“The church isn’t  a building.” “The church is in the office, the marketplace, the school—wherever the individual is.”

Is it true? No.

The word translated as church in the New Testament of the Bible is “ecclesia,” a decision making body. While it’s true that the building isn’t the church, and the church can be any type of building, home, even a tent or a tree to gather under, individuals in the office, marketplace, school, etc. are not, by themselves, the church. The gathering of believers to worship, fellowship and learn together is the church.
