There are two primary distinctions to dispensationalism: 1) a consistently literal interpretation of Scripture, especially Bible prophecy, and 2) a view of the uniqueness of Israel as being separate from the church in God’s program.
The church did not exist prior to Christ's appearing, for he says:
"I will [build] my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."

Actually yes it did, It just was not called gthe church as we know it, The church has been around since Christ redeemed adam and eve, and it started wiht the first prophesy, which will literally come true (gen 3: 15)
and it will be filled with every believer from adam until the last person ever saved while this current earth is in existence.
