A: To be a Christian means to believe Jesus Christ is your personal Saviour and Lord. So fundamentally, you can be a Christian without having to go to any of the things that you mentioned. However, I don't someone could be taking their faith seriously and growing as a Christian without having the support of the church family.
If someone is to say "I can be a Christian without going to church," I think they are lacking the maturity and commitment to continue as a disciple of Christ. It's hard to be a Christ follower and disciple of Christ. God doesn't call us just to believe and then be stagnant in our growth, but He calls us to believe and make disciples of others (Matthew 28:18-20).
Our church offers Sunday School to teach the Word and Fellowship to build community. Sunday Service is to have corporate worship. All of these are integral aspects of church life and help facilitate the growth of a Christian. I believe that if you are serious about your faith, then you need to be apart of a community to learn and grow.
