Yes. Many are under the impression that they could seek God on their own. After all, why should we bother going anywhere if we could just read our Bibles and pray at home? While this thought is convenient it goes against the teachings of Scripture and practice of New Testament Christians. Worship is acknowledging God and obeying His commands.
Hebrews 10:25 says: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much more as ye see the day approaching.” Some have made a habit or a custom of neglecting church, such a practice is unbiblical.
The Biblical model of New Testament worship is seen in Acts 2:41. It starts with Salvation first (i.e. trusting in Christ alone), followed by baptism, as a step of obedience, and then church membership.
The early church was concerned with the worship of God, keeping His ordinances, prayer and fellowship of believers (see Acts 2:42).
