Symbolism of a Church??? (1 Viewer)

[Tenille_69]

This is probably going to be a really stupid question... but, what is the symbolism of a church? Is it the house of God?
Sorry I dont know much about Christianity, and i cant find it anywhere in my books - and i want to include it in my Religious Rites.

Thanks :$
