Found Family with MaryB. Safrit

Finding and Cultivating a Single-Friendly Church (feat. Beth Collingridge)


Listen Later

In this episode, Beth and I talk about: 

  • Identifying the pain points of exclusion—and how to get serious about including and being led by singles in the church. 
  • Barriers to single leadership—unpacking the biases, assumptions, and misunderstandings about singles. 
  • The lonely church: why we need to deliberately create an atmosphere of kindness, connecting people, saying hello and then some. 

Beth is a passionate advocate for inclusion within the church community. As the Communications Director at UK-based charity Single Friendly Church, Beth works tirelessly to create welcoming spaces where single individuals of all backgrounds are valued and embraced. With a heart that beats for unity, she’s dedicated to breaking barriers and ensuring every church becomes a place of belonging.
