Your definition above ignores church planting.
Exactly Pergy. This is the result of the error that man must look from the kingdom to the church(building). We have had it backwards for many many years. Our focus should be Go and teach, then have the Holy Spirit direct them to wherever He sees fit. We have spent too much time "churching" people then teaching them. God adds to the church not man.
