# Church
|
||||
|
||||
In the New Testament, the word “church” is used to talk about a group of Christians who regularly met together. They met to pray and to hear people preach and teach from the Bible. Often Christians in a city met together in someone's home (see: Colossians 4:25; Philemon 1:2). Christians named these churches after the city where they met. For example, the “church of the Thessalonians” was the church in Thessalonica (see: 1 Thessalonians 1:1). That is, it was all the Christians in Thessalonica.

The words “the church” can also be used to talk about all Christians in all places (see: 1 Corinthians 5:12; 10:32). When someone is not talking about all Christians in all places, they might use the words “local church.” They are talking about the Christians in their area.
