When you say "church" is that the priesthood of believers?

Church has several meanings, depending on the context. Your definition is correct, in the broadest sense.

I don't see "Word" as meaning the Church. Christ, then His Revelation (as noted in Scripture and Apostolic Tradition)

The ministers, pastors must preach the word and teach the faithful. As William Whitaker stated in his noble work: “For we also say that the church is the interpreter of Scripture, and that the gift of interpretation resides only in the church: but we deny that it pertains to particular persons, or is tied to any particular see or succession of men.”
