To a Christian a church building is only a place to meet. It has no special significance. For example a church building is not the place where God dwells.
The Church itself is the people, not the building. No, the Church building is not the Christian holy place. God is everywhere. It is the body of a Christian that is holy.

Yes! Actually, some people go to church every Sunday and aren't real Christians. Those who read their Bible's and have a relationship with Christ are real Christians, not those who are religious. Church is not a building. Church is everyone on earth who knows Jesus personally. So in that sense, you cannot be a Christian without also being part of the Church.
