This infobox is for providing general information about a Christian church building, including its history, architecture and staff. To provide information solely about the architectural details of a church building, use {{Infobox religious building}}.
Churches vary from small chapels to large cathedrals; from corrugated iron sheds to architectural masterpieces of international importance. This template has to be adaptable to the worship locations of all religious denominations and as a consequence, it has many parameters. It is therefore important that editors exercise discretion in selecting an appropriate number of parameters. If the infobox for a particular church becomes excessive, WP:BOLD applies and less significant parameters should be removed.
