There is no place in the Bible that it says that if a church does not call itself the church then it's not the church.

Suppose you have a duck, but the duck calls itself a chicken. Does that mean it's not a duck? No, it's still a duck. Has it lost it's standing as a duck? Can it no longer swim nor dive for food? Can it only walk around the yard and peck at the ground? No. Anyone would say that's stupid.

So if some believers calls themselves "New Life Community Church" they are still the church in that city, or at least part of it. The LCM churches are the same way, they are just part of the church in the city. What you call yourself is irrelevant. What the LCM calls itself does not change its status, other than in the minds of its members.

The idea that what you call yourself determines what you are is simply ridiculous. It's just not biblical.

You don't start being the church in the city just because you call yourself that and you don't stop being it because you call yourself something else. Your view of this thing is extra-biblical. As I said, it's simply a device to convince anyone you can that you are special. But you aren't.
