Yes, for the sake of argument, debate, point/counterpoint, etc, suppose the loca churches did practice the ground of locality and were not based on the ministries of Witness Lee or Titus Chu, I believe what you would have is not a ministry church, but something resembling a community church.

In the part of town I live in there are several community churches HCC and ERCC. Attendees of these community churches reside in the town where these churches function.

In the same town, the CIR (LC) didn't come into exisitence until 2009. From the time I was meeting with the Church in Bellevue, residents from this town would drive roughly 15 minutes in order to meet with the nearest local church which is Bellevue.

When you really get down to it and what these churches represent, community churches function more as a local church. whereas Local Churches (The Church in ______) function more as a ministry church.
Where do people live in relationship to the church they attend?
