A Conversation with our Founder - Jackie Elton
In a special podcast episode celebrating Single Friendly Church Week, we talk to our founder Jackie Elton about the unexpected journey from launching Christian Connection to starting a movement for change in churches. Jackie shares the stories and research that shaped Single Friendly Church, the challenges of creating belonging as a single person, and why singleness can be a life full of purpose, opportunity and adventure.
“I think there’s been a huge amount of progress in the last few years, but I still expect it to be a long game.”
