If yiou were to join a 30+ Singles Group at chruch what would it look like?Posted : 22 Nov, 2011 07:58 PMI have been a part of two successful singles ministries. To have a successful ministry you need to offer many different opportunities for singles to get together. If you can have a singles Sunday School class, that is the best start. You can also have weekly or bi-weekly Bible studies sometime during the week. You should also plan at least a monthly even such as hiking, going to a museum, or simply throwing a party, such as Thanksgiving or Christmas. You will want to offer up a variety of things and let people pick and choose what they want to go to. |

If yiou were to join a 30+ Singles Group at chruch what would it look like?Posted : 22 Nov, 2011 09:32 PMI know I'm a girl, and you didn't ask for a girl's input on this topic, but Cobbler just described the singles group at my church...and it's pretty successful. There are about 12 members who are very faithful, and several more who come once in a while. Everyone is between the ages of 25 and 31, though, so we might be a bit younger than what you are envisioning for your group. There is a good mix of girls and guys. (And even though we are technically a "Baptist" group, we have a few different denominations represented, especially for our weekly Bible studies and social outings.) |

You have to have people who are dedicated to lead the group. It will go nowhere if there isn't anyone who cares about it. I have also been in several singles group where the church gave the singles class to the intern because no one wanted it. That was a pathetic class. |

I may ask for those responding to this forum view my proposal that I will bring forward. I do not think I am qualified to lead; but I do think I can build and orchestrate the development of such a group. Please pray for Long Island and the development of such a group. :prayingm: |
