Conflicted because my boyfriend spends lots of time serving in church

My boyfriend and I are both Christians. However, he is more involved than I when it comes to serving the church. He spends 3-4 nights at church for meetings. We don’t get much time together because of this. I feel he may be better off dating someone with the same level of commitment.

I’m a new believer and come from a family of non-believers. My parents are ok with me attending church services but are strictly against me getting baptised. They feel that if I get baptised, I’ll be unable to “account” to them and the family, especially in events like funerals or death anniversaries, because I am unable to partake in rituals.

God’s grace in my life

For me, being a Methodist is really about living in the constant awareness of God’s grace.
