Well, it will depend upon the individual person, but yes, it is likely that she will find excuses to minimize fellowship with you. Unfortunately, those in the Local Church are not encouraged (to put it mildly) to have contact with, much less fellowship, Christians who do not attend LC meetings on a regular basis.

I started going to a grace-oriented church last week, where the teaching is expository. And am going to enjoy the Bible study we have there, with discussions directly on the Bible. Right now we are in the Gospel of John.

This is great! God's Word is always the answer! Whether the preaching/teaching is expository or topical, the answer is the Word. Teaching on the Word, preaching on the Word, fellowship on the Word, prayer on the Word!
