There are also many churches who have a pastor who might oversee singles and young adult ministry without having the title. There are pastors such as Jay George of Swartz Baptist, Monroe, LA Don Munton, First Baptist, Houston, TX Raymond Cox, First Baptist, Moore, OK Terry Murphy, North Coast, Vista, CA Suzanne Adams, The Grace Place, Stuart FL, Dave Shafer of Bayside Church, Sacramento, CA and Obie Dalrymple, First Baptist, O'Fallon, IL who continue to minister to singles and young adults. There are leaders like Pam Kanaly and Shelley Pulliam of Arise Singles Moms Ministry, Jennifer Maggio of the Life of a Single Mom, and Dawn Vanderwerff of Single Parent Missions.Many also minister to singles in various ways. Leaders with passion, drive, and a heart for reaching people for Christ.Įven though there are days I feel like Elijah in 1 Kings 19:5-18, grumbling about feeling alone to do the work of the Lord, God reminds me I am not alone. Regularly I meet new leaders who God has called to start a Bible study, lead a specialty ministry like DivorceCare, Griefshare, Pray for a Mate or Celebrate Recovery or start a singles ministry.
While I don't know who will take my place, many are still called to minister to singles. Kris, who are you mentoring to take your place? Who will continue traveling and speaking when you are not able to? Who will continue writing, recording, and posting videos, developing content, and running the website? Who will be the voice of singles?
I get asked this question from time to time.
