What Others are Saying About Kris, Director, The Singles Network...
...it was such a pleasure to have you with us this last week. Many were challenged and found such truth in what you had to share from God's Word. You spoke to their hearts and if nothing else planted seeds of change in their lives. Dale and I were encouraged, and are now even more motivated to reach out to single adults. We are making a list of who and what this week for being more purposeful in our one on one training of our leadership, and we're contacting our prayer coordinator for purposeful praying weekly for the ministry. It was a joy just to get to know you one on one too. Thank you so much for coming and being a blessing to all of us! Dale and Peggy Shaver, Singles Pastors, Bethel Church, Richland, WA
...I finally have gotten a minute to sit down and write to thank you for the wonderful weekend we experienced weekend-before-last. I was overwhelmed with a since of God's leading all through the process of getting you here to Shelby and throughout your visit. And now after the fact, I am just as sure that God wanted you here. I have had much positive feedback from some of those who attended the Navigate Conference on Friday PM. We enjoyed hosting that event and making those new contacts with sister ministries nearby. Our Saturday AM time together was exceptional, filled with encouragement and ideas on direction for our ministry. But most of all, Jeri and I thank God for the opportunity to meet you personally. After our first conversation on the phone, I knew we were in for a treat. And you didn't disappoint! Thank you for being our friend. Reggie Ledford, Lay Singles Pastor, First Baptist, Shelby, NC
...Kris' ability to encourage, challenge and motivate single adults, all while making them laugh out loud, makes her a unique and valuable asset to any church that is serious about starting, growing and developing their single adult ministry. As an entertaining speaker and a down to earth teacher, Kris addresses the nuts and bolts of growing a single adult ministry by addressing practical issues like greeting, team building and event planning. She has been a blessing to us and I believe she would be a blessing to you and your ministry as well. Pastor Kevin Whidden, First AOG, Concord, NC
...I have known Kris Swiatocho since 2002 and I have found her to be a source of great wisdom concerning ministry in general, specifically Single Adult Ministry; in all its facets. I have worked with Kris via long distance as well as side by side in the same church setting. Kris brings many hears of experience to the table and she can adapt to any ministry setting, always keeping close contact with the ministry’s leaders, shepherding them to lead the larger flock. Kris was hired by Temple Baptist Church for a two year period where she completely realigned our Single Adult Ministry, built up and trained the leaders, and offered wise counsel and “love” to all of our Singles. She was the “point person” dealing with all issues in the Single Adult Ministry and was able to handle them at the lowest level, freeing up the pastoral staff to implement the vision given by the senior pastor. This was a huge asset, she was a huge asset to what God was and is doing here at Temple Baptist Church.
Even though she is no longer on contract here at Temple, her influence is continually felt by all who were blessed to be around her.
Kris has many talents that go beyond ministry to single adults. She is a great conference host and organizer, skilled at Women's Ministry, very competent and appealing teacher, and can also stir a group/crowd with humor, laughter, and the presentation of her subject matter.
Kris will be an asset to any church or ministry setting that she is a part of. Former Ed Pastor Allen McClure, Temple Baptist Church, New Bern, NC
...as far as I am concerned Kris Swiatocho is the first lady of single adult ministries. I recently had the honor of having her speak to our single adults. Her passion for single adults is second to none. Her material is fresh relevant and funny! As a result of her passion for singles, she is able to keep her listeners on the edge of their seats. If you are interested in giving your ministry a new sense of direction or a boost of encouragement, Kris is the one to call. Ray Raney, Singles Pastor, First Bossier Baptist Church, Bossier City, LA
...I highly recommend Kris...
"I have been in singles ministry for 18 years. As someone who is a conference speaker and who uses speakers for different events, I know that a speaker has to be able to communicate a message that people need and want to hear. They also have to do it in a way that is both entertaining and provides value to a person's life. Kris Swiatocho does both. I highly recommend Kris for seminars, training classes or just for an evening of fun."Freddy Johnson, Former Small Groups Pastor, Hope Church, Tupelo, MS
...when Kris came to lead a Singles Weekend Event for us Kris brought creative ideas and helpful suggestions for our Singles Ministry. Her caring manner, fun approach and uninhibited spirit were a blessing to our Singles. Many of our Singles had heard the good things our leaders had said about Kris; those leaders had heard her at the SAM conference. After seeing her in person here, our Singles buzzed even more about her gifts and talents. We were amazed at how insightful she was during the Questions and Answer time we had with her. I value the valuable resources Kris brings in our partnership in our ministry to Singles and I value her friendship; people that get to know her know that Kris cares. J. Woods Watson, PhD, Pastor of Senior Adults and Single Adults, First Baptist Church, West Monroe, LA
Kris is a dynamic speaker who knows how to add humor, humility and honoring God in all her messages. She wraps these messages into a powerful theme that allures people to want to make a difference within themselves and also within their local Church. - Gary Moritz, Pastor, Capital Baptist Church, Annadale, VA
...we have had the privilege of having Kris at the last two of our statewide Single Adult Leadership Conferences, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive to her each time. Kris brings a great combination of passion and preparation to all she does. She loves single adults and it shows in her presentation, in her writing, and in how she immediately throws herself into building relationships with those present as soon as she walks into the room. She is definitely a game changer! She’ll raise the stakes and do a great job every time. We’ve been very pleased. Keith Lowry, Single Adult Ministry Specialist, Baptist General Convention of Texas
...Kris is one of the most passionate, energetic and educated people I have ever met when it comes to Singles Ministry..."Her genuine care and concern for people, especially singles, comes through in her every action and word. Her light hearted sense of humor and her captivating communication style keeps every person in attendance on the edge of their seats hanging on to her every word. Although we are always very sad to see her leave we are always challenged to reach out, grow and evangelize all those that God brings our way! In one word...Dynamite!!!" Leigh Sexton, Coordinator of Single Adult and Women's Ministries, Celebration Church, Blountville, TN
...I first met Kris when she was the keynote speaker at a Regional Singles Event in Portland about 2 years ago. Our Program Chairperson immediately asked her to speak to our S.A.M. Group at Rolling Hills Community Church. We have the largest Singles Ministry, to my knowledge, in the Pacific Northwest and have been functioning about 15 years. We were immediately drawn to Kris, not only because her tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience ministering to Singles, but because of her terrific sense of humor and creativity. We were not disappointed and are looking forward to having her again this summer. Sam Haley, Singles Pastor, Rolling Hills Community Church, Portland, OR
