Christian Singles

You may have chosen a life of singleness. You may be unexpectedly single because of divorce or the death of your spouse. Or perhaps the time for marriage just hasn't come yet. No matter what the reason, try to focus on the here and now—not on what might happen some day. All Christians—single or married—should make the most of each day, being and becoming all that God has designed them to be. We miss many opportunities to be a blessing, and to be blessed, when we live in the past—or in the future.

Here are some websites and books with ideas for an exciting and productive single Christian life along with Christian forums, communities for fellowship and shared ideas. I hope that individuals, as well as leaders of singles ministries, will find them helpful.

If you are a single parent, please also visit For Single Parents. As usual, please email me your ideas and favorite sites!
