Is the New Testament's definition of a church in the following verses (1 Tim 3:14-15 Berian Literal Bible)?

"I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you in a short time, but if I should delay, so that you may know how it behooves one to conduct oneself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth."

So, if the church of the living God is the household of God and the pillar and base of the truth, what does that say about the way we should treat each other, and what we should be holding up?

How do the local churches stack up? How do the churches us non LCRs attend stack up?
