Reaching Single Adults: An Essential Guide for Ministry

by Dennis Franck

Although 44 percent of all adults are unmarried, most churches are focused on marriage and families--and so miss many opportunities to reach out as well as to benefit from all that singles can offer to the church.

Here at last is an up-to-date, comprehensive handbook to single adult ministry. Based on his over twenty-five years of experience, Dennis Franck offers church leaders guidance on all aspects of this often-overlooked ministry,

-understanding singles' diverse life situations and needs
-developing a biblical philosophy of ministry
-the practical aspects of building a ministry

Pastors and lay leaders will gratefully welcome this new in-depth resource to guide their ministry to, for, and through single adults.

Franck gives his game plan for how to start and keep a thriving singles ministry. From my perspective, if you just understand that singleness is not a dishonorable or incomplete state as a Christian, than you're ninety percent there. Franck provides a lot of lists and options that seemed pretty basic and obvious to me in starting any ministry, including a singles ministry. The important thing is to not have the purpose of singles ministry be getting people out of singles ministry (married), but rather train and mature people in their singleness.
