The word church in the New Testament is a translation of the word ekklesia, meaning "called out" or "assembly." It never refers to a building or place. The word church in English is an interesting word. Where he came from? It came from the old English kirch or kirche as in the Scottish kirch, and comes from the Greek kuriokos, which means "belonging to the Lord". Therefore, the word church means "belonging to the Lord" in its etymological origin, and could refer to a place or could refer to a group of people. So that's where the word in English comes from and does not prove anything about where people should meet.
