General Names

Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Anglican denominations usually call their places of worship a Church, although the word 'church' actually refers to the gathering of people and not the building. Prominent churches or churches that contain a bishop's throne are often called Cathedrals. (The term Cathedral in some forms of Christianity, like Catholicism must have a bishop's seat. In many forms of Protestantism, the size is sufficient.)

Non-conformists (Baptists, Methodists etc) also use the term 'Church' but often use the word 'Chapel' as their meeting place.

Other denominations have different names for their place of worship e.g. The

Quakers have a 'Meeting House' and Salvationists 'a Citadel'.

Specific Names

Usually they are referred to as The Church of............., followed by what ever name it is given i.e The Church of St. John. There are times when it may be referred to as The House of God, Chapel, Place of worship, Meeting place or House of worship. It is according to the whim of those in charge as to what they will be called.

Outside of the Buildings

However, not all Christians worship in a church. While it is the traditional meeting place for many Christians, others worship any place they are - in their homes, a local hall, an outdoor location, or any place, as God has not restricted to a certain place for worship. This is because he can be found everywhere as Scripture explains.

Matthew 18:20

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

John 4:21-24

21 Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Christians can worship God anywhere, though the place they gather to worship is called a church.

Answer 4

You are probably asking where Divine Worship takes place, and the answer is literally anywhere and everywhere. However formal Divine Worship must take place in a consecrated Church, chapel, or Oratory. It is only with special permission from the Ordinary (usually the Bishop) that the Mass may be celebrated anywhere outside a consecrated place.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Worship. Acknowledgment of another’s worth, dignity, or superior position. In religion, worship is given either to God, and then it is adoration, or to the angels and saints, and it is called veneration. Divine worship actually includes three principal acts, namely adoration (or the recognition of God’s infinite perfection), prayer or the asking for divine help, and sacrifice or the offering of something precious to God. Worship as veneration also has three principal forms, whereby the angels and saints are honored for their sanctity, asked to intercede before the divine Majesty, and imitated in their love and service of God.
