In McKinney, a Bible Church is an organic church different than traditional churches in that substance is more or less emphasized over form. According to this view, the Church is not a linear or historic physical ecclesia structured and protected by divine institution, nor is the Church an official building or temple, but the Church is the living body of the Christians who are organically partaking of the life of Christ at any given moment. It is, in a sense, therefore a physical reality in that it manifests itself tangibly as bodies of believers seeking to live by the life of Jesus Christ and express that life together.
