As far as I know, there are 3 different interpretations for the "churches" mentioned in Revelation 1-3.
1) the actual churches during that time
2) They represent church ages down through history
3) They represent church types which are present in every generation
Taking a poll, but I would be interested in reasons for holding a view as well.
One portion of the letter to the church of Philadelphia states the following, which makes me think #2 or #3

[Rev 3:10-11 NASB95] 10 'Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that [hour] which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
