Names for a Singles Ministry
Table for One Ministries • May 1, 2025
We recommend that you don’t use fancy names for a single ministry description. Name a group a title that people will put into Google a search for in your community! That name will be the most effective and relational name you can pick. Often the best results are naming a group “Singles 20+” or Singles 20’s & 30’s” But if you want a list, here it is 🙂 Remember, a singles group isn’t about dating or a “singles ministry.” It is about being complete in Christ! You need to be single friendly, not just have a catchy name for singles.
53% of adults in America are singles. Single-person households have increased more than fivefold since 1960, from 7 million to 37 million. You don’t need a singles ministry; you need to be single friendly.

Not all singles are the same.
Singles in Church
Less than a quarter of your church is single, but your community is over 40% single.

We are seeking church partnerships nationwide in 2025 to host Christian singles conferences. These single adult conferences or singles retreats are discussions for single adults of all ages and backgrounds.
From these catalytic event gatherings, we encourage small group communities to be formed. Some will use our 6-week single adult curriculum, Embrace the Table. We see 25%-40% of singles conference attendees join a small group after our events for the first time using our Embrace the Table 6 session study.
