Featured musical artist: Jeremy Rosado

Roundtable: The Singles Gap

Kids, youth, college-age, young marrieds and seniors: Most churches seem to have unique ministries for these demographics. But what about young professional single adults? Our guests discuss the seeming vacuum in churches when it comes to creating space for singles, and what we can do to foster belonging and impact among this too-often “lost” segment of the church.

Culture: Does the Church Value Marrieds More Than Singles?

Does your church seem to place a higher value on marriage than on singleness? Is there any truth to this claim, or is it just the skewed perspective of the unmarried and embittered? Two pastors, one married and one single, discuss both sides of the argument. They suggest how the church can better teach singleness as a unique gift while showing sensitivity and honor to the singles in their pews.
