Has anyone thought about how absurd the doctrine that the boundary of a city is the boundary of the church is?

1. According to this doctrine the world determines the boundary of the church.

2. According to this doctrine the boundary of the church can change at the whim of some city council.

The NT says that Jesus is Lord of all, given to the church. Yet according to this doctrine I have to check with the city council first before I can know what the boundary of the church's authority.
