The definition of church continued.

The compound verb means "to call out from." In classical Greek ‎ekklesia ‎referred to an assembly of the citizens summoned by the town crier. It is used in Acts 19:32-41 in its purely classical meaning. The town clerk dismissed the citizens who had been gathered together by the craftsmen of Ephesus. In its every other occurrence, it is translated "church," the church being looked upon as a called-out body of people, called out of the world of unsaved humanity to become the people of God. The word refers either to the Mystical Body of Christ made up of saved individuals only (Ephesians), or to the local churches, as for instance Rom 16:5; Gal 1:2. The word "assembly" is a good one-word translation of ‎ekklesia‎. The genius of the word points to the fact that in the mind of God, the Church of Jesus Christ is a called-out group of people, separated out from the world to be a people that should maintain their separation from the world out of which they have been called.
(from Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New Testament

The church is called out from the world to live a life in God but it is also called to the world to fulfill Jesus’ great commission to go and make disciples of all people groups and nations.

We the followers of Jesus are His church, we meet in many places and have many local organizational names but we are all called to live for Him and to do all that He began to do and teach according to Acts 1:1

If we are making disciples and doing all that He began to do and teach as a part of the local community of believers or church than we shall hear Him say, “Well done good and faithful servant enter into my rest.”

Making disciples begins with us as individuals. So we might first ask ourselves if we are becoming His disciples daily.  If we are then we are also becoming the church.
