They don't look like anything - they're not built.

Church? As in a Christian House of Worship?

Well, here's a typical Saurisian Church:

Kawaiians have no churches. There were countless shrines in our homeland, but none survived the destruction wrought by Lord Gojira except for the Shrine of the Manifestation in the WA Strangers' Bar. These days, when Kawaiians gather for worship, they do so outdoors in public squares, or in large halls set aside for it.

Kawaiian prayer halls closely resemble Islamic mosques--usually brightly colored and intricately decorated with complex geometric patterns on the outside, plain and undecorated on the inside. The front of the hall has an enclosed porch where worshipers may remove their shoes and wash their hands, head, and feet. From the porch there are several doors for worshipers to enter and leave the hall, which is unfurnished except for carpets. On the rear wall there is a large, open window. Kawaiian worship requires one to face the direction of the holy Mount Sanrio and prostrate oneself, and so the halls are oriented so that worshipers facing the wall with the window will be bowing in the right direction.

Outdoor worship is similar. An area is roped off, swept clean, and marked with seals designating it a place for worship. If it hasn't been done previously, it will be surveyed to make sure it is properly oriented toward Mount Sanrio. The direction is marked on the rope boundary by a decorative arch. A wash station is set up outside the area designated for prayer, and worshipers bring carpets to pray upon, lining them up according to the surveyed orientation.

Similar to that, if they even are still there.
We do not give them funding so they are very rare. That Acerbic couldn't care less about the organization of religion does not help.

Churches do not exist, or any other building made specifically for religious purposes, instead we use clearings in the woods as sites of prayer.

Since we are a rural nation, most of out churches are small and simple. Here is a typical Christian church in the province of Oetztal.

Well, that's different in every cultural region. In the North-East, around High Rock, we have baroque churches, in the North (Greyhaven) they are classical and neo-classical. In the Western Mountains, there are little Lombard and Rhaetian churches. In the Northanger region, they are victorian or gothic / neo-gothic, the Curunir Plains have neo-classical, carpenter-gothicand jeffersonain architecture. In the south, nordic wooden churches dominate the image. And finally, around Shenzen, churches are more temples and follow chinese and south-east-asian architecture.

We have no churches as such. Our closest equivalents are our philosophical temples. They are each unique. However here is one example:

Churches in CCP tend to be small, simple buildings due to a general lack of followers and the fact churches are taxed like all businesses.

Well, we do have plenty of of buildings that look like they might have once been churches, but most of them have since been converted to apartments, shopping centres, or something else like that.
