How is a parish different from a church?

Answer 1

Many Christian Churches called their local congregations "parishes", if the local congregations are set up along geographical lines, often with one congregation per neighborhood. Among the churches that use this sort of local organization are the Catholics, the Orthodox and the Episcopalians (aka Anglicans outside the United States and Scotland).

The Baptists are another Christian "denomination". They do not have parishes as such. There congregations do not have geographical boundaries, though the church building itself has a street address. Members do not belong to a local church because they live within the boundaries assigned to the local church. Local Baptist churches get started when like - minded people organize and start one.

The Baptist Church (denomination) doesn't have parishes, so it can't have a parish church (congregation or building).

Answer 2

The difference between a church and a parish is that a church is the physical building where people of the Christian faith go to worship, whereas a parish is the geographical area that church parishioners, or worshipers, come from.

Answer 3

Baptist immerse the person during baptism, Catholics sprinkle.
