The church is a body of believers, a body, consisting of many parts, with God living in each of us. It's the God in each of us that unites us, not a "church". That's a box. The real church is us. The people. We could meet under a bridge and it would still be church. We could meet in a grocery store, and we'd still be the church. And it's the fellowship among us with fellow believer that makes us who we are. Not a "church", the church. Us. United.
I'm not suggesting church is bad, it's actually a very beneficial thing. Just keep God the focus, and don't let a pile of bricks and steel with a steeple define who you are.
