Posted Signs by Single Parent Director, Holly Crain

Growing up we would make our annual trek to Houston from Tulsa where I grew up. It took a full 10 hours to get to Houston...believe me, I know. My two sisters and I would divide the backseat and form agreements to when we could sleep and what space we could use. Read More

What is Anxiety by Eddie Walker

Having worked with Single Adults for many years, I have noticed one area of life all of us have to deal with on one level or another. The word is anxiety.

Ministry of the Month: Oasis, NYC

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10

Her Faith, Her Jesus, Her Life

Conferences, Retreats, Where Are They?

Picture
I have often been asked, where have all the retreats and conferences gone? Well, just like with all singles ministry, it’s a demand and supply. The more significant events relied on churches for support, in some cases financially, large busloads of singles, and a team of leaders and singles pastors for direction. But when singles ministry changed, it affected everything from conferences, retreats, book sales, magazine subscriptions, and more. Read More

Overcoming Temptation with Kris Swiatocho and Cory Nickols

Leadership by Legacy by Kris Swiatocho

​“I've had it. I am going to quit. I am so sick of these singles. They don't commit to anything. They don't show up. They are only focused on getting married. Besides all of this, my pastor doesn't care. My church thinks singles have leprosy, and heaven forbid they ever become one. Jesus, I am so alone in leading these singles. I am so alone in ministering to them. Help! Help!”  Read More

Is Kissing Before Marriage a Sin? by Kris Swiatocho

QUESTION:
A friend of mine was recently scolded by his girlfriend (they are both in their 30s) for asking if he could kiss her. They have seen each other very seriously for a while, and he has wanted some indication of her affection for him. But when he asked to kiss her, his dedication to God was questioned, and the young woman made him feel like slime. Is this a generational thing I've missed out on? Is kissing before marriage a sin?​ Read More

Ministering to the Fathers in Uganda

The recent gathering of Fathers in Lira City achieved its primary goal: to mobilize and empower fathers with fatherhood teaching to help them, love, provide, and protect their families. Fathers have several issues that affect them; these range from being the breadwinners of their families to providing daily leadership, among others.  Read More
“Jesus was a single adult and so are over 50% of the adults in the U.S. today. This is a population segment that calls for special attention and ministry, but has often gone unnoticed by the church. Kris Swiatocho has dedicated her life to reaching single adults for Christ and building them into multiplying disciples of Christ. She is a great communicator and organizer of singles ministry. I commend her to any church or group who is seeking to reach the many singles in our culture today.”
—Dr. Steve Harris, Strategy Coordinator for the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina.
