One church per city is not a prescription in the NT. It is a description of a reality. Even today, wherever there is a city, there is a single church there no matter how many different buildings with different names on the signs exist within.

Years ago when flying over the great Midwest at night I looked down and pointed out to my dear wife the city of St. Louis. Its glory and its definition at night were the lights. It was at this moment I had an epiphany/clarification on this matter of one church per city. From the heavens God only sees one.

Many, maybe most, local churchers simply saw their assemblies as that one church per city but they were wrong. Their meeting hall signs were simply were a testimony to this fact.

Once when I was visiting Pittsburgh (maybe Ohio was there that day) I spoke in the meeting introducing myself as one from "the church in ___." I said, "We have, oh, I don't know, 20,000 or so members." People gaped at me. I added, "And about 20 meeting in our building."

Some of you are calling this teaching of one church per city a false teaching but it isn't: it's reality.
