What about the "church in the wilderness" from Acts 7:38 (KJV)?

What was it called when Christ's disciples gathered together with Jesus or in Jesus's name before this day that you say the church started? Please note that they gathered together with Jesus and in his name prior to Acts 2 but also after the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. e.g.: Act 1:4 And, BEING ASSEMBLED TOGETHER WITH THEM, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. Act 1:6 When they therefore were COME TOGETHER, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? Act 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. Act 1:14 These all CONTINUED WITH ONE ACCORD IN PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. It seems to me that the New Testament church started prior to Acts 2. Maybe you can clarify this point of yours and open my eyes. Peace be with you.
