Acts 7:38 in the King James Version, tells of Moses being "in the church in the wilderness," that is among the congregated nation of Israel. In another instance the Scriptures state "a bitter persecution started against the church," referring to the community of Christians in Jerusalem. (Acts 8:1) In one of his letters, the Apostle Paul greets "the church" in Philemon's house, the local congregation that met there. Philemon 2, Revised Standard Version.
Clearly the term "church" as used in The Bible designates, not a place of worship, but rather a group of worshippers.
Additional Comments:
In at least 12 occasions, the name used for the church was 'Church of God' and could of been associated with the location where it was, ie...2 Thessalonians 1:1, "to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the lord Jesus Christ."
