If you want to know what church is, pick up your Bible and read the two books of Corinthians. EASY! If you're looking for a good, BIBLICAL example (definition) of physical church, use the great example of John the Baptist in Matthew 3: 1—4. Compare it to what we see in today's apostate church (that teaches an attitude of sin tolerance and sworn to secrecy doctrine) and decide for yourself which one to follow.
Matthew 3: 1—4 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
It is His Holy Bible that teaches this. When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the doorway, run. Draw near to God. The desolation is the lack of God's bread; sound doctrine, and the teaching, instead, of men's philosophies; such as making merchandise of the sheep, Football, Christmas, Easter, Independence Day, Drinking, Fornicating, Whorish Women, and Lying with your own sex. It's the wrong Jesus, the wrong faith, and the wrong covenant! Don't GO TO CHURCH, come out of it!
The church is the tabernacle of the circumcised heart, that is made by the Holy Spirit through the fiery furnace of afflictions; sanctification, when we remain pure and reconciled to God in Christ Jesus. Jesus sits in the tabernacle of our hearts when we prepare the path for Him; seek Him and read His Word, and when we remove all stumbling blocks; sin; and remain pure. Once we're born again, we go to work for God, not man by "going to church." God will provide us with a ministry.
As long as we're reconciled to Him, He will give to us our ministry. It is the abomination of desolation; the apostate church, that teaches the mysticism of sin tolerance vs. the Repentance and Kingdom is at Hand salvation messages to babes in Christ.

1:10 - "People don't have a problem with God; they have a problem with the church as they perceive it." Very interesting!

I am morally superior to the god of the bible. So is every man woman or child that has ever lived.
