In the early church, when a new convert was made.. where did they expect them to meet/fellowship? Did the apostles expect new converts to join their churches?

I am not sure what is outward and artificial about actually trying to be the church in the locality, and if we try to be such, why would we not encourage others to join us?
You seem to be saying that there is no true local expressions or that all groups meeting every Sunday are such an expression?
