教会 (jiàohuì) is a term that refers to a church, a place of worship for Christians. It serves as a community center where believers gather to participate in religious services, prayer, and various activities. 教会 can vary in size and style, from small local chapels to large cathedrals, and often features symbols of Christianity, such as the cross. In addition to worship, 教会 plays a significant role in community life. Many 教会 offer programs for education, charity, and social support, helping to foster a sense of belonging among members. They may also host events like weddings, baptisms, and holiday celebrations, contributing to the cultural fabric of the community.
