text: The New Testament teaches of Christ's coming and His instruction to establish His church - I believe there is actually a verse that states "the Churches of Christ salute you" but I can't seem to locate it just now - In answer to your question the bible only refers to Christ's church which was established by the apostles - read the book of Acts - after the Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost - and the apostles began the work of preaching the gospel and establishing Christ's church -
