  1. A person who worships, especially at a place of assembly for religious services.

    The temple was filled with worshippers.

    Sadly, the ever-eager Reverend Judith had not been able to conjure up many worshippers, even though it was Father’s Day. There was just one old dear sitting halfway back, her faulty hearing aid letting off a high-pitched whistle.
