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.

That's right.

Every evangelical congregation is the church, including some LC's (at least those in the GLA).

But you have been talking about THE ONE TRUE CHURCH, which is like Paul said, "THE CHURCH, which is His body."

Try to understand the difference
