"May God find me among the wheat, cause I don’t need to building to be with my brothers and sisters in Christ."

Last time I checked, most evangelical Protestants hold their services inside a building. Yes, you can pray anywhere, but communal worship is a standard feature of all forms of Christianity and all religions. Even non-liturgical groups like the Quakers have churches or meeting halls. In fact, they're building one about a block from my house.

And you are lacking in some basic history. Yes, most do have services in buildings, but they also have services in tents at different times of the years.

And all of these churches came from denominations which were famous for camp meetings, evangelical events and etc. Outdoor revival meetings were famous around the turn of the century. Additionally, when churches were shut down by local bureaucrats, the church4es would hold outdoor meetings near the jail or sheriff’s office.

A building does not make a church, Christ died for the people. We can worship as a group anywhere (sunrise Easter services on hilltops), the building just keeps us dry during the rain.
