Church (community)
The whole body of the general Christian community, or a subdivision or denomination of it. The church as a community of believers represents the body of Jesus. It includes both those who are alive (the Church Militant) and those who have died and are in heaven (the Church Triumphant). The term also means the church building where the community meet.
Jesus laid the duty of establishing the Christian church on his disciple Peter (Matthew 16:18). The church is said to have begun with the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. From this time on, large numbers of people were inspired to join.
