How to: Start a Singles' Ministry with a Badminton Set: Small Churches Need Singles, too. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517418137)

Small churches usually do not have the funds to begin a Singles' Ministry nor a minister to lead it. This author has started a singles' group in a small church with no budget. Her book gives instruction on how to help the singles in your church and neighborhood form a caring, growing relationship with each other and the church. The singles' population today makes up half of all adults, so it should be a target audience for the church. From this group you will get teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, creative people like artists and writers, and others who would bring vitality and growth to your church. For far too long, the single adults have been neglected by our churches. Inside this HOW TO book, you will learn about the challenges and the successes of a Single Adult Ministry in a small church (under 300). Step by step, Ann will lead you through her personal set up of the ministry, the obstacles she faced, the support she was given, and the journey she enjoyed for eleven years. Success starts with a dedicated single adult leader with a heart for all the singles who desire a safe, caring place to meet others. Your leader needs to be empathetic to the various ordeals that these singles have faced. The leader needs to be a mature Christian and a prayer warrior who won't give up but continue to grow with the ministry. No doubt, the leader must have full support of the leadership of the church who will incorporate the ministry into the mission of the body of Christ.
