The Bible makes it clear that believers should meet together regularly for prayer, worship, teaching, fellowship, and mutual encouragement.  God never intended that we should walk alone in our faith.  Involvement in a local church is vital to our growth in Christ.

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the
fullness of Christ.  Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV)
