Worship at church is so important.

If you are a follower of Jesus, you are the church. Thus if your heart is right with God your desire should be to be at church every time the doors are open to worship Jesus and to fellowship with believers. Look at these verses as they speak for themselves:

Hebrews 10:25

not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Acts 2:42

They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

You know how often the early church met? Daily! Hmmmm

Acts 20:28

"Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

Why are pastors so worried about you being at church? So the Word can be taught and we can help each other defeat Satan and worship the King!

1 John 1:3

what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

Matthew 18:20

"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

1 Corinthians 12:27

Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

People are the church not the building.

1 Corinthians 12:12

For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

This is the reason we all should be at church when the doors are open...we are all one body and if on member is missing then it don't function properly!

So get to church, serve where you are called, you have other days to try to please self, but give God the days he has called the church to gather! No excuses!
