Your interpretation of single congregations being part of the one true church implies those congregations are sub-groups or sects of the one true church.
I think in the bible each church is expressed as being "the church", not "part of" it.
e.g. The church in Corinth
The church in Ephesus
I can't find anything in my bible talking about "part of the church..." in Corinth etc.
