And with greater contacts comes additional resources, creativity and respectability. A singles ministry is not like a youth group. Youth need adult leaders, lots of direction, and limited responsibility, whereas young adults are ready to assume high levels of ownership and responsibility. Team ministry provides the opportunity for growth, both in the team member's lives and in the group. If you begin by trying to squeeze a young adult ministry into the fringes of your activities and schedule, the young adults will feel squeezed.
Single ministry takes time, lots of it.
They have questions that need answers and crises that demand response. The time needed for planning meetings requires commitment to running the group. Other involvements may have to be released so that you are free to make this ministry a priority. Making singles ministry a priority will communicate to the singles that they are important. Most singles have felt strongly at some time that they were unimportant to someone.
