Being a Christian means to follow Jesus Christ. We walk in His footsteps. So what did Jesus do did He go to church? There were no churches in Jesus' time, but He did go regularly to a place of worship. And so did the first followers of Jesus. Worshipping God together with other believers is an essential part of being a Christian. The Bible says nothing about solo believers.
To say: 'I want to be a Christian, but I don't want to belong to a church' would be like saying: 'I want to be married and stay single!' You simply cannot become a Christian on your own. By new birth you have entered the family of God and belong to the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10 (KJV) says: As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
This is a good news, because it means belonging to a group of people, rather than to an institution. Just as Jesus surrounded Himself with the twelve disciples, we need to be with other followers of Jesus. The church shows us that the Christian faith is a "together" faith. When you become a Christian, you were not only brought into a relationship with God; you were brought into a relationship with other people, too. You became a part of God's people, the church, living on earth.

You are right. In the work and walkvof faith we need one another.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25
I agree that we are to be together in the faith. We are "living stones" that need to be joined together, upholding and supporting one another.
