The '''church''' or '''chapel''' is a recurring element in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Every main-series game since ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' has had churches, and many spinoff games feature them as well.

Churches are devoted to various religions depending on the game, but usually profess the worship of a particular creator deity such as [[Rubiss]] or the [[Goddess ~~(Dragon Quest IV)~~|~~Goddess~~]].

Churches are devoted to various religions depending on the game, but usually profess the worship of a particular creator deity such as [[Rubiss]], the [[Goddess]], the [[Grand Architect Zenus|Almighty]], etc. Churches are most commonly serviced by a pastor, but may also be found under the care of nuns, [[Zenithian]]s or others.

Churches are most commonly serviced by a pastor, but may also be found under the care of nuns, [[Zenithian]]s or others.

Churches provide several important services to players:

*'''Confession''': The pastor will record all of the [[Hero]]'s deeds; this functions as the game's save system, replacing the previous password-based systems. The player will begin at the church they last saved at when they resume play.

*'''Resurrection''': Resurrect party members who have fallen in battle, reviving them with a small amount of HP (usually 1/8th of their max, or simply 1 HP).

*'''Exorcism''': Remove [[curse]] [[status effect]] from an afflicted party member.

*'''Exorcism''' or '''Benediction''': Remove [[curse]] [[status effect]] from an afflicted party member.

*'''Purification''': Remove [[poison]] status effect from an afflicted party member.

*'''Divination''': States the number of [[Experience Points]] the party members must gain in order to reach their next levels of experience.

All services except for confession and divination require a donation to the church, which escalates as characters level up.

*In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', allocating skill points into the [[Priest]]'s "Faith" skill allows characters to learn how to perform divinations and benedictions on the field.
