A few references to the Church that the Savior organized;

 

“I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:”   (Romans 16:1)

“Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.”  (Romans 16:23)

“And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,”   (Ephesians 1:22)

“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.”  (Ephesians 5:23)

“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.”   (Ephesians 5:24)

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;”   (Ephesians 5:25)

“That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”   (Ephesians 5:27)

“For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:”   (Ephesians 5:29)

“This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”   (Ephesians 5:32)

“As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.”   (Acts 8:3)

“Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.”   (Acts 12:1)

 

All of these above references refer to an organization not a church building.

 

This organized governmental Church was organized by and under the direction of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
