    I wanted to get a bit serious here
    The name of many churches end in Temple, Worship Center, Fellowship, ect.

    It the organization, is a church, why not use the name church in the title?

    Could it be the focus is the preeminence of the building rather then the assembly that occupies the building?

    Crystal Cathedral comes to mind.

    Sort of off topic, but could a RCC be properly named “Huddled Masses Catholic Church?”

    Or would that shame the statement attached to Ms. Liberty?

    Biblically, a church was named after the city it was located in. I like that.

    There is an argument to made that if there already is a gospel-preaching church in that city, then to plant another one is to cause a schism.

    Which is why I tend to favor street or location (neighborhood) based names. Though if the meeting house is located across the street from a park that works too.

    Depends on how big the city is.

    Would it really make since to only have the New York City Baptist Church -
    Or am I missing something.

    When you have a city the size of San Francisco, more than one assembly of Believers is not schismatic. Also, the case maybe the other Gospel preaching church is not of the same faith and order, say its Orthodox Presbyterian or Free Methodist.
