You can, and should, praise God everywhere you are or ever go. But just like you visit your friends all the time, it is nice to go to His house every now and again.
God says to keep the Sabbath holy. Hard to do at home. Easier to do at Church.

Ok here's the thing. For salvation all you need is to accept Jesus Christ the Son of God into you heart as your Lord and Savior. that's it.
You should be going to church just to go. For me and most evangelical Christians we go for these reasons
1) To Hear the Word of God from a pastor who knows more than me =)
2) To Praise the Lord Jesus Christ in a corperate setting, it's a great time of Growth and worship.
3) Fellowship.. I get to spend time with breatheren Discussing the Bible, sharring with others what God has done in my life, Experiencing the use of Spiritual Gifts. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
Basically, you will get more out of going to church if you are serious about your faith in Jesus. if you go just to go...and you don't really care and you only have "Fire Insurance" it's almost a waste of your time. I say almost because the Word of the Lord will never come back void.
Also if you are a sheep in Gods sheapard why would you want to separate yourself with Wolves? Wolves being unsaved people or even demons.
I hope this helps. May Jesus Bless you!

No, as a practicing Christian it is not necessary to go to church every Sunday and feel like a sinner if you miss. Keeping the Sabbath day holy can be personal as well. Spending time reading the Bible, reflecting on your life, and even listening to Christian music can be worship of a sort.
The Bible does tell us that we cannot walk this path alone, and that we should seek Fellowship with other (hence church), but it does not imply or infer that we have to do it every Sunday.

We should worship the Lord with the very life He gave us. Church is a great place to gather, be encouraged, praise God, and learn from His Word, but we can worship Him all throughout the week, no matter where we are! God bless!

Church is a place of edification amoung believers and a place where the unbelievers can come to find truth. We are a family united in Christ. I do praise the Lord in my home, in my yard, in my car, in the Walmart, and wherever else I am when I feel like it.

You don't need to go anywhere to praise God. Do it there do it here do it anywhere. But do it. Praise God Everyday forever more.
But it doesn't hurt to go to chruch on a regular basis. It is good to be around people of like faith.
Hbr 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

You can praise god and talk to him any where you want to. Church just gives people of the same way of thinking a place to go for fellowship and community. Also, for spiritual guidance.

No, I don't think it's necessary. But to find a church where people really love the Lord and are devoted to learning the word of God....and being doers of that word....is a great blessing!

Going to church, a Christian can be with the family of God and worship God together. Also, going to church brothers and sisters in Christ can learn about God's word from the Pastor, and encourage and help each other. In church, we can use our God-given gifts as part of the body of Christ. Also, there is no such thing as a lone-ranger Christian, we are part of the body of Christ and any Christian who is isolated is a guaranteed casualty of the devil. www.equip.org

let's think first century.
The Church in the first century would have looked at you like you had two heads if you didn't have three things:
Baptism by immersion in water.
Regular communion, observing Christ's sacrifice
an Ekklesia - or Assembly - of believers that you were involved in meeting with regularly. Note that most of Paul's Epistles were written to churches in cities, not just to individuals.
It's not said in the text of the Bible. It is said in the history and principles of the Bible. Sometimes that is hard to discern. Great question! hope i helped
