But Christ appointed apostles who, in turn, appointed elders to watch over His Church.

From Miletus [Paul] sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church. (Acts 20:17)

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. (1 Tim. 5:17)

For this reason I [Paul] left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you-- (Titus 1:5)

Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. (Heb. 13:17)

How can you be obedience to your elders if you do not belong to a local Church?

" But Christ appointed apostles who, in turn, appointed elders to watch over His Church. "

Do you think I already know that ?

I never said not to be any part of any local church, but, if the church is not part of the body of Christ or teaching and preaching the word of God the Bible, then get out of that church fast.
