The central part of a church is called an altar. This is a sacred part of the church and the place from which the sermons are preached.

The sanctuary is where the main church service is held
The Nave is the middle part of the Church. This is where the congregation sits during the service, and is flanked by aisles on each side.
It isn't called anything. It is just called part of the nave.
The term "nave" comes from the Latin word "navis," meaning "ship." This association likely arises from the architectural design of churches, where the vaulted ceiling resembles an inverted ship's hull. The nave serves as the central part of a church, where congregants gather, symbolizing a place of community and refuge, much like a ship at sea.
R. Gverdtsiteli has written: 'On the original form of the vaulted roofing of the nave and of the roof of Sioni Church at Bolnisi' -- subject(s): Bolnisis Sioni (Church), Vaults (Architecture)
An apse is a wing or recess in a church building that sticks out from the main building. It always has a semicircular end, and is usually situated at the end of the church behind the altar.
A Christian! The Church is not the entire Church but simply an outshowing of the Body of Christ. It is simply that part of the Church in England, a Communion of believers.
