Help
& Advice for single Christians at church
Singles and The Church
Sensitivity and ministry to singles became a theme in church
life of the late 1980's.
Some interesting singles stats
Some 40% of the United States' population is single, with
at least three categories of single people identifiable: divorced,
widowed and never-married (an increasing percentage of especially
college-educated young adults}. A fourth category in church life
is the "religious single," whose spouse either chooses
not to worship or attends another church.
Singles
in the church often feel excluded or marginalised
Research points to the fact that singles in todays church feel
excluded by the church's emphasis on "family" in worship,
and otherwise. One study suggests that loneliness and grief, two
major issues for singles, are unaddressed by the ministry of most
churches.
Outreaches for singles
Outreach to singles who are unchurched may hold the greatest evangelism
potential for churches in some areas. But reaching your own christiab
singles groups within your church may be the first step in helping
others. If you want to help us to help single Christians - email
