Church was the term for a building that was used for worship, often in relation to religion. The term 'church' could also be used in relation to a specific religion.

Beneath St. Jude's Church in 9th century a flask containing Fenric was buried, it would later be uncovered in the 1943. (DW: The Curse of Fenric) In the 1970s the Azal located himself within a church in Devil's End, following a confrontation between the Doctor, the Master and his ultimate defeat by Jo Grant lead to the church's destruction. (DW: The Dæmons) The Master later hid his TARDIS in the remains of the church.

In one instance on Earth a sentience inhabited a church in the town of Cheldon Bonniface, known as Saul he inhabited the church and was able to exert an amount of influence on the church's congregation. (NA: Timewyrm: Revelation) Several churches have often been places of significance on Earth, not just as meaningful locations of worship, but in other guises. St. Mary's Church in Cardiff was used as a location to hide a resurrection gauntlet. (TW: Dead Man Walking)
