A place where Christians gather to sing, worship, pray, give money, socialize, get told that they are wretched sinners, and judge others for how they are dressed.
The word has two main meanings, as an architectural instance a church is a place where people gather to help reinforce each other's ignorance of reality.
As a social organization a church is a group that hates the currently unpopular minorities.
I could say it's a big building with pretty windows where people bow down to deity of choice, but that's not the question, is it?
Mostly I consider churches to be wasting money and misleading people. Some of them do good stuff--they spend the money helping the poor instead of building a bigger building--and that gets a thumbs up from me. But I still believe they are sadly (or, depending upon my mood, hilariously) wrong.
A building, primarily associated with the religion of Christianity, in which Christians gather to receive a message every Sunday from a speaker which tells the group of a weekly theme in their religion, amongst the practice of rituals associated with the Christian denomination.
A very beautiful place where people congregate to talk to an imaginary person and play solemn music, and listen to a man in a dress (GOD FORBID IT BE A WOMEN IN A DRESS) read from a book in a monotonous tone, that you could probably read yourself at home.

A place where people go to worship god. What kinda question is that? A church is a church.
It's where people go to participate in a weekly social event.
