Sorry, gotta be nitpicky:

Which Church?

By what calender system?

How do you know it was year 33?

The full moon, on a Friday, occurred in only three years during Pilate's reign:  27, 33, and 36.  Jesus must have died in one of those years.

The Gospels indicate the passage of three passovers in Jesus ministry.  That would seem to rule out 27 and 36, assuming that Luke's approximation of Jesus' age was within a few months.  33 is the most likely, and Pentecost is the traditional starting date for reckoning the beginning of the "church". 

There is only one church, which includes all believers of whatever sect.
