I noticed on the Gender Gap Poll that apparently the individuals who have singles ministries available to them are taking advantage of such ministries, as the numbers equal out. There isn’t one at my church. I don’t know if I would be involved if they did. Not sure.
How do you view singles ministries? What purpose do they serve? Do you think people use them as a place to grow/learn from other Christian singles? Do you think they view them as dating pools?
Having been out of the game for so long, I began reading this forum thinking it would be helpful to pick the brains of other single people, just in case (as allforfun says J) I was “doing it wrong”. I’ve learned a lot and I want to thank you.
I would think a singles ministry would be similarly helpful. I don’t know whether I would be comfortable viewing it (or even this forum) as a dating pool. You can make amazing friends, but if you date one of them and it doesn’t work out, what then? You stand the risk of losing a good friend and things become…awkward. L Does that happen in singles ministries too?
What are your thoughts?
