Not necessarily, but it helps. Much of the value system of Judaism is about community: praying, supporting, working, studying in community. Surely you can study and do mitzvot (good deeds) and tikkun olam (repairing the world), as an individual. But at its best, the synagogue provides a community where those efforts are multiplied, and each person gains from the contributions of others.
