How do we know the concept of a local church is important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The local church is important as it serves as the ordained body for worship, teaching, and participation in the ordinances of Christ.

Christ instituted the church as the primary venue for believers to gather for worship, to be taught, and to partake of the ordinances. Through the church, believers are added, baptized, and equipped for service. The health and growth of the church are essential for the individual believer's spiritual life and the fulfillment of the Great Commission. The Scriptures emphasize that Christians are called to an assembly where they serve one another and grow collectively in faith.
