One Day Can Change Your Church in 2023

You don't have to have a Singles Ministry.

You need to be Single Friendly.

Single-person households have increased more than fivefold since 1960, from 7 million to 37 million. 2022, 47.3% of households had married couples, while 11.1% of people lived alone. Those figures were 74% and 3.9% in 1960, respectively.

Singles come from all ages, backgrounds, and lifestyles. Once you know who your community is, only then can you reach them, and they are more single than ever before. We don’t need to build programs and ministries to reach singles, you need to reach people. We need a church culture that is single friendly and we would love to partner with you.

Table for One Ministries exists to build a community for Single Adults through discipleship since 2013! We offer singles ministry resources such as blogs, conferences, bible studies, and coaching.

BE FOCUSED. REACH SINGLES.

DR. PJ DUNN

Minister, President, & Founder est.2013

Singles Conferences Focused on Life Change

We are seeking church partnerships in 2023 across the country to host Christian singles conferences. These single adult conferences or singles retreats are discussions for single adults of all ages and backgrounds. From these catalytic event gatherings, we encourage small group communities to be formed. Some will use our 6-week single adult curriculum, Embrace the Table. We see 25%-40% of singles conference attendees join a small group after our events for the first time using our Embrace the Table 6 session study. 

Dr. Dunn’s passion is to build a community for single adults through discipleship. He is a discipleship consultant with the Georgia Baptist Mission Board and is passionate about helping churches reach single adults. Singles need to know they are complete in Christ and Christ alone! In addition to single adult blogs, bible studies, and singles conferences, he has a select group of leaders for ongoing coaching to help their church be single adult-friendly. He is honored to speak at churches, venues, and pulpits all over the country and see churches be single-adult-friendly. The most rewarding part of ministry for him is to see life change and guide people toward being complete in Christ.

NOT ALL SINGLES ARE THE SAME

Singles are unique. Every type of single adult has a specific way to reach and minister to. These type of labels are not meant to place singles into different areas to minister to. Learn more about each type of single adult as a leader, or as a single.
