More Speakers Still to Come...
Over half of the church membership is single, divorced, or widowed. That means millions of members around the world may be feeling isolated and alone in a church where the focus on the family is so central to doctrine and everyday teachings.
This summit helps members of the church understand the struggles single members face so they can better “minister to the one” and have a deeper connection with the single saints in their congregations.As part of our baptismal covenants, we promise to bear others’ burdens mourn with those that mourn, comfort those in need of comfort.
The Single Saints Summit is a collection of over 15 powerful sessions to teach leaders how to connect with, minister to, and lead the single saints of the church.
Listen as presenters of all backgrounds share their experiences as single saints, or leaders to single saints, and learn how to navigate the doctrine of the family as an unmarried member of the church.
