The English word "Church" (derived from the Greek kyriakon) can be rendered simply as "the Lord's house". In the Holy Bible, the word used in Greek for "Church" meant the "assembly of people", and in most cases, a grouping of believers, not the building itself, as we use the word today.
The Church is the "People of God", those who are "one body, one Spirit... one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all." (Eph 4:4-6). "For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread." (I Cor 10:17). Also, "For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body..." (I Cor 12:13).
