The word church comes from a Greek week which means "that which is called out." People who are called out from the rest of the people to serve and obey God were the first church.
Now, church refers to any religious group or the building where they meet.
I asked my son what church means and he said that is where we go to worship God and learn about God. That is kind of what I think of church too.
But looking back to the orginal defination, being part of the church of God requires action on our parts as we serve and obey God. That is not a private personal thing but something that is done with other members of the church.
