Never Married Adults 22+

EMBRACE THE TABLE FOR ONE

Singles who have never been married and may choose never to marry makeup who we consider “single.” This is for classification purposes only. Please note that every ministry on this site is single.

As a never-married single adult, you are most likely still looking for someone to share life with. If that is you, then check out our Dating Singles ministry page. The rest of you may feel that while you may get married at some point you are content with being single. 

With regards to staying single, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 (NIV)  “Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.” Jesus and Paul agree, if you can be single and stay single it’s a great opportunity to serve God! If you desire to be married, God knows that desire and He will be faithful to that call in your life in His timing. 

If you are single, be single. The most important thing is to Be Complete in Christ.
