In referring to the church they are descriptions, not names. It is what it is, not what it is called. There is no denomination called "the Local Churches", it is "the local churches". I would call my wife, "wife", not "Wife".
Ministries can have a name just like people and objects can have names. No issue with Living Stream Ministries.

But the description "the church in X" refers to all the believers in X,
not to your group.
