Singleness is on the rise

UK society is changing. 40% of adults are single – and this is increasing in every age group. But single people often report feeling unwelcome in church.

We equip local churches to become places where single people feel fully welcome, included and valued.

Who we are

Single Friendly Church Network encourages churches to welcome and value single people at every stage of life. We were formed as a result of research commissioned by Christian Connection focusing on the experiences of single people in church. Findings from 3,000+ single Christians overwhelmingly highlighted common themes of people feeling excluded, hurt, isolated and unwelcome, to the point that some had left church altogether.

We provide resources and training, including our 5 Step Guided Audit, to help churches to be welcoming communities where everyone can flourish.
