The church is all the believers. Don't you want that?

You are confusing the universal church with the local one. The universal church is a given and many times the discussion on here is about the local church. If I am talking about the universal church I will say "us", if I am talking about my local church, I will say "we". If I asked you a question about your church , aren't you going to use the word "we" or "my church" also?
