Those Two Things by Single Parent Director, Holly Crain

It quickly became apparent that I needed more input into all the decisions that were coming at me... but I wasn't sure where to turn. 
Should I get a new phone? Do I need to return to school?
Did I buy too much? Do I really need to take my car into the shop or should I chance it?  Read More

6 Week Money Challenge by Steve Repak

Your Action Steps
  1.  It is not what you know, but what you do that is important
    If you know you need to start spending less, start tracking where you are spending so you can cut wasteful spending out. If you know that credit card debt is bad, quit using your credit card. If you know you need to start saving more, open an account and start putting money into it! Many of us don’t do anything to change our situation or believe in just praying alone to fix all of our issues. God wants us to pray but also expects us to take action. Read More

Singles in the News!

When I first started in singles ministry, numerous online and physical magazines were solely focused on singles adults. Some were Christian Single (CS) by Lifeway, Living Solo Magazine by Single Adult Ministries, and the SAM Journal (a leader’s magazine) by Cook Publishing (all of these are gone). Read More

How to Lead a Small Group Study by Kris Swiatocho

So how do you lead a Bible study? Here are a few ideas on how to begin, prepare and lead.
 
Before leading a study, pray about your overall goals:
  • Who are you trying to reach, and why?
  • Do you want to teach it or facilitate it?
  • What do you hope to achieve? Is it to reach the lost or draw them closer to God and each other? Is it to help them in a particular area of need, such as dating, finance, trust, etc.?
  • How many weeks do you want to lead the study? What day and time of the week?

Pocketing?

I have been dating a wonderful lady for several months. We have told each other "I love you" and even talked about marriage. However, there are times I feel very distant from her. For example, I still have not met some of her friends. She talks about them, but for whatever reason, it never seems to be the right time for me to meet all of them. Also, she has met my parents on several occasions, but when I suggest we take a weekend to see her parents, they seem to always be out of town. ​ 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.
