A Church was a building used for worship, often in relation to a religion. By extension, the word also was used to refer to a specific sect or religion.

Beneath St. Jude's Church in 9th century a flask containing Fenric was buried. It would be uncovered in 1943. (TV: The Curse of Fenric) In the 1970s the Azal located himself within a church in Devil's End following a confrontation between the Third Doctor and the Master. His ultimate defeat by Jo Grant led to the church's destruction. (TV: The Dæmons) The Master later hid his TARDIS in the remains of the church. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) The St Mary-in-the-Dust church, demolished in 1840, periodically reappeared on its original site. (PROSE: Border Princes)

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. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation) Several churches were 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. (TV: Dead Man Walking)

Donna Noble was to be married in St. Mary's Church in Chiswick. (TV: The Runaway Bride) Wilf later visited a Church and was spoken to by a woman. The woman told him that the Church had been a convent which a man in a blue box had saved from a demon which had fallen from the sky. The man was called "the sainted physician" and the blue box was pictured on a stained glass window in the Church. (TV: The End of Time)

St. Justinian in Stockbridge was left ruined by the Millennium Wars. (COMIC: The Tides of Time)

By the 51st century, the Church was a faith-based military organisation primarily responsible for interstellar security, protecting human populations, and special covert operations. Regular military ranks were replaced by offices such as Bishop, Cleric and Verger (TV: The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone)
