This Is Important To Help You Stay On Course
If you have a friend and either of you fall in to a ditch then you'll have someone to help get out of the ditch.
This makes common sense and is part of the wisdom that is found in Proverbs one of the books in the Bible. Having someone to help you keep on the straight and narrow is so important which is why you need to have people around you that are like-minded.
Another Biblical idea is if you take a coal from a fire, it is most likely going to lose its heat and become a black ember.
Having people around you that will support you in your good decisions and help you correct the bad decisions is vital to growing strong in your faith. I say, "grow strong in faith", because Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes from God's Word. This can be from a sermon in Church, a friend, or reading the Scriptures yourself.
Finding a Church that is alive and is based on sound Biblical Doctrine is also very important. May be the Church of your friend who introduced you to Jesus, that would be a good place to look.

When you have a group of friends that share your faith then it earlier to introduce your other friends your new faith and give what you say more credibility.
There is another part of coming together with like- minded people that is called "The Corporate Anointing".
What is "The Corporate Anointing"? - It is the atmosphere that is created when Like-minded people come together in the power of the Holy Spirit to worship The Father, reflect on the Nature of Jesus, and demonstrate the working of the Holy Spirit.
Each person is drawing on the 'Power of The Holy Spirit' within them and this power multiplies with the other people's 'Power of The Holy Spirit' to encourage, strengthen, and perform mighty acts of deliverance in the meeting.
This why the Scriptures clearly says, "Not to neglect the assembling together" because of the power and spiritual development this gathering together creates.
As I have stated above, it vitally important to find a Church that fits the 'meeting together' as previously stated because of the assistance it provides for your spiritual development.
