SINGLES MINISTRY
Single Christians are an
important part of the Lord’s body at East Ridge. The purpose of the
Singles Ministry at East Ridge is two fold: (1) To facilitate the
spiritual growth of each individual member of the Singles group. (2) To
provide a loving, caring atmosphere that is open to and accepting of all
Christian singles regardless of age or societal background.
We strive to achieve these two objectives by employing a three-pronged strategy: (1) Providing opportunities in addition to Sunday AM and Wednesday PM to study God’s Word such as our bi-weekly Thursday night studies and our annual Christian Singles Lectureship. (2) Providing opportunities and encouraging involvement in various areas of work and service. For nine years the Singles have been involved in a monthly service project at Erlanger Hospital. (3) Providing events to promote Christian fellowship among group members. The group has an annual Spring Retreat, a Summer Getaway, and other special events such as the annual Singles Surprise Day. If you’re single and looking for your place in the Lord’s church, we’ll help you find it at East Ridge!
