Church Building
A church, church building, church house, or chapel is a building used for Christian worship services and Christian activities.

List Of Oldest Church Buildings
This article lists some but by no means all of the oldest known church buildings in the world. In most instances, buildings listed here were reconstructed numerous times and only fragments of the original buildings have survived.
