That is what Church is. It's those members that make up a local congregation/community that are part of a larger global congregation/community. Are you part of a local community?

I attend a local congregation once or twice a month. I call the man in charge there Pastor, though to be honest, I don't really consider him to have any spiritual authority over me. For the most part I "tithe" to that congregation (though I do not believe tithing to be a NT requirement but part of the law). I say for the most part, because I will occasionally take from my tithe to meet a need outside of the church.
