Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerThe word "church" is used in several different ways. Primarily it is used to refer to the community of believers, the kingdom of God, and the Mystical Body of Christ. These are the primary senses of the word from Sacred Scripture. In these senses, it is Our Blessed Lord, Jesus, who "makes" the Church which is composed of all those who believe in Him. As the Mystical Body of Christ it is the communion of all those made holy by the grace of Christ.

The people are the church, not the building. Without the people, you have no church, just an empty place.
