Single adults--the fastest growing household type in America--are leaving the church in droves because they don't find it a place to belong. This unfortunate fact is equally obvious to an overwhelming majority of surveyed pastors who consistently rate their church's ministry to singles as poor, or fair at best. God's intent for a win-win relationship between the two may have been lost, but the map is still available. This engaging book dares you to believe that things can, and should, be radically different between singles and the church. There is a way you can make the dream come true. A balanced and affirming approach to forming a biblical church family Available in single's edition and church leader's edition Humorous, encouraging, and enlightening Uniquely equipped, the author knows the topic intimately--from both sides Offers creative ideas for both singles and church leaders Compellingly written by a Kregel best-selling author.

From the Back Cover
Singles and the church—a match made in heaven? Singles and the church go together like grilled steaks and vegetarians.
It’s true that singles don’t fit in the church—at least, not in the family-focused church we know. But maybe that’s not what the church is supposed to be. Maybe God has something else in mind for His church, the Family of God. Maybe God has in mind a place where everyone belongs—and that includes you!
This engaging book dares you to believe that things can, and should, be radically different between singles and the church. There is a way you can make the dream come true.
“Essential reading for singles looking for their place in the church and for church leaders wanting to welcome them.”
—Albert Y. Hsu
Author of Singles at the Crossroads
“This book identifies missed opportunities and mistakes on all sides and provides a blueprint for building a stronger, richer, more Christlike church family."
—Jeanine Hill
PR professional and single adult church member
“In the growing body of Christian literature for singles, it is refreshing to find a book that looks beyond dating or personal contentment and considers Christian stewardship of singleness and how it fits into God's larger plan.”
— David K. "Kelly" Fath, Jr.
Singles Leader, Calvary Church, Fruitport, Michigan
The wearer of six bridesmaid dresses, Wendy Widder knows the single life. She also knows the church after spending a lifetime there in both volunteer and paid positions—and she believes more than ever that the two go together. Wendy graduated from Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio, and is completing a Master of Divinity degree at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. She is the author of Living Whole Without a Better Half.
