A people - not a building.
A people - not an address.
Relationally rich.
Others will be known by the temple or mosque they attend. Not so with you. You'll be known by the people you worship with.
The relationships around your worship are far more important than the rituals of your worship. That's why Jesus said, when you come to sacrifice to atone for your sin and you bring it to the place -- and there you remember something between you and another - a friction of some kind - an unsettled disagreement - put your sacrifice down and get it right with the other first.
Relationally rich.
That's why so much is said in the Bible about 'one another.' Over and over and over ...
Accept one another
Care for one another
Bless one another
Submit to one another
Carry one another
Bear with one another
And on and on . . .
So go out and . . . love one another. Be relationally rich - relationally gracious - relationally caring.
And be blessed.
