Church

A church can refer to a religious congregation of Christians within a local area, or the structure in which the congregation holds their services. The term is also used in the form of "the Church" to refer to the universal congregation of Christians worldwide regardless of denomination.

As far as its reference to a structure, its most common feature is a chapel where the congregation sits in pews and the priest or pastor leads the congregation in worship from a pulpit. The structure may also include a bell tower or a steeple.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, Tapper has visited a few churches during his visits to the human villages surrounding the Smurf Forest.
