The bible says not to forsake the gathering together which is also important for the body of Christ to do for its edification. Discipleship allows the body to grow from one another. There must be balance after coming to the Lord need to learn and grow in their faith. The church needs to be the church and be able to be mindful of each other. It is important for everyone in the body to know the are significant! Without people believing their significance leaves people without a purpose or a lack of value. I’m reminded of Nehemiah where everyone rebuilt their portion of the wall.
