There is no clergy in the Baha'i Faith. Baha'is believe, according to the Faith's Scriptures, that mankind has gone through many spiritual stages since its genesis, and is now sufficiently spiritually mature that clergy is no longer required to lead a "flock" like sheep. Every Baha'i is held personally responsible by God for studying the Scriptures and obeying God's laws.

It depends what you mean by "church."The "church" in the sense of a building for worship is called the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, which is literally the place where remembance of God goes up: a plain English equivalent would be chantry. Bahais in the west call them houses of worship.
