Does God require we attend Church every Sunday? Moreover, does God require that we have a home Church? Some Christians attend Church but not the same one every week. Would God condemn that?
 
Since we ARE the 'church' Id say 'no' to the question as asked ;)
I believe fellowship is a 'necessity' of the faith, not a commandment.
 
Look at it this way Dave: Are you commanded to eat everyday? Or do you eat because you need the nourishment and just because you really, really like to eat!

Assembling with the brethren isn't something that we are commanded to do on a given specific place or time. But, just as we cannot go along without food and drink for any length of time without our physical body suffering, we cannot go along on our own without fellowship and worship without our spiritual body suffering.

Then the Baptists got really smart, figured out how to fulfill both needs at the same time and invented the potluck! :D
