This doesn't have to happen at church. This can happen in a home or coffee shop. The early church of the NT didn't go to 'church' Jesus also frequently went into the Jewish temples and caused a disturbance.
It can happen outside of the church, but it is directed to occur inside the church, per the NT.
The early church did meet as churches (Corinth, Rome, Jerusalem, etc.)
Paul's missionary journey(s) throughout the book 9f Acts was all about establishment of churches.
Jesus went in to the temple and caused a disturbance by speaking the Truth, but that was earlier than the establishment of NT churches and didn't have anything to do with churches.
Not giving up meeting together...
[The context is church]
