When looking into what is a church the first thing you need to understand is that the Local Church is precious to Jesus.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Yes Jesus primarily died for the souls of men. But theologically He did for several other things as well. One of them is for the Church.  He died so the church could be established, and empowered. Christ loved the church enough to die for it. Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. That is a lot of love.
