The English word "church" is translated into Marathi as चर्च (carca).

चर्च is a noun used to refer to a house of worship.

Meaning: house of worship (noun)

How does it change in a sentence?

The word is a neuter noun.

The romanization is carca.

While चर्च refers to the building, the word प्रार्थनाघर (prarthanaghar) is used for 'prayer houses', often referring to the non-theistic worship halls of the Prarthana Samaj movement.
When referring to a church as an institution rather than a building, Marathi speakers might use the term मंडळी to refer to the congregation or the community of believers.
Because the word चर्च is a loanword, some older Marathi speakers might use ख्रिस्ती मंदिर (khristi mandir) to describe a church using a native conceptual framework.
