The Bible says not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. There is no time frame mentioned.

Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

It does not command coming together for church once a week.

It doesn't say it has to be church.

And the admonition is not to do it as the habit of some is. IOW, don't do it all the time.

I attend church because I want to, not because I have to, and I don't attend church because I need it, cause I don't NEED it.

The mainstay of my spiritual walk is my (mostly) daily Bible reading and prayer.

Church is nice, I usually learn something, I enjoy getting together with other believers, but it is not my spiritual battery recharge time. I'm not depending on it for that because it's not enough to get me through the week.
