This book does not deal with the one (universal) church but with the (local) churches in many cities. First, in Matt. 16:18 the church is revealed as universal, and then in Matt. 18:17 it is revealed as (local). In Acts the church was practiced in the way of (local) churches, such as the church in Jerusalem (Acts 8:1), the church in Antioch (Acts 13:1), the church in Ephesus (Acts 20:17), and the churches in the provinces of Syria and Cilicia. (See Rev. 1:4 note 2)
