Finding Christian singles in your area feels like it should be easy. You just go to church and there they are, right? Unfortunately, it never seems to be that easy. People aren’t parading around the church with badges on that say “I’m Single”. There’s not a special “singles only” section of the sanctuary to sit in. And while you know there have to be other Christian singles there, how do you go about finding and meeting them?

Good news. There are options. In fact, some of these options are even within the church, they just require a little refocusing on the direction you’re looking.

Today, we want to help you find Christian singles near you. We want to help you start meeting Christian men or Christian women who are close to home, excited for God, and are looking to meet someone special like you.

If you’re ready, let’s buckle up and get after it.

1. Exercise every resource and opportunity at your local church.

While we started off by ragging a little on how hard it is to meet Christian singles at church, it really is the place where you’ll find the greatest numbers of singles. But, you have to get a little more creative in where you look and make sure you’re utilizing the right approach.

First, focus more on relationships in general.

If you’re running around church just trying to find singles, you’re quickly going to look like the guy or gal who is desperate for a relationship. Trust us, this is not a good look. Instead, focus on building relationships with both men and women first. Genuinely start getting to know people and making friends, not for the purpose of meeting singles, but just to get more connected to the church.

What’s going to end up happening is you’ll start to get introduced to more people, start learning more about the people you’re meeting, and single men and single women will start appearing out of nowhere.

Start with a focus on real relationships with everyone within the church, and the singles will start to become more clear.

Second, if there’s a singles ministry, attend regularly (even if no matches).

It probably goes without saying, but if your church has a singles ministry, you should be part of it. And even if you go once and don’t meet anyone you’re even remotely interested in, keep going.

What happens if you go once, don’t meet anyone, don’t go back, and then the next week someone who would have been amazing for you happens to show up? You will have missed them just because you happened to show up on different weeks. But if you attend regularly, you’ll have the best options to meet someone.

Additionally, every member of a church’s singles group tends to be excited about playing matchmaker, so you never know who they might think of once they get to know you better.

Third, utilize the events and opportunities available.

Taking the mindset of relationships first, you need to make sure you’re getting as involved as possible. Here are a few tips for that:

  • Get to church early and spend some time mingling in the lobby.
  • Hang around church afterward and do some more mingling and meeting.
  • Join a small group.
  • Attend events that the church puts on.
  • Go on trips or to special off-campus events with the church.

Fourth, let the people you meet in the church know you’re looking.

Lastly, make sure the people you’ve created relationships with know that you’re single and open to being introduced to someone else. Don’t assume they know that’s the case. All you have to do is tell them once by saying something like, “Hey if you happen to know any great single Christian men/women you think might be a good match for me, let me know. I’m looking.”

2. Use a quality Christian dating app like Higher Bond.

Do you wish there was a place where Christians gathered and actually wore badges that said, “I’m single!”? Well, there is and it’s at Christian dating apps. If you’ve never tried a Christian dating app, I would highly encourage you to give it a chance. But, please make sure you’re not just picking any random app, but you’re using a top Christian dating app that is truly focused on God’s work.

Where is that? Glad you asked! We would highly recommend checking out Higher Bond. It’s a Christian dating app designed for singles who value faith as the driving force behind their relationship decisions. It’s one of the few Christian-owned options that truly cares about Biblical values.

If you’re ready, take the first step today.

As one quick follow up, something we hear a lot is that people would rather meet someone in church than on an app. We get that. But, is the Church a building or is it a group of people? We humbly believe it’s the latter, so whether or not they’re congregating in a building or on an app, it’s still the Church. It’s just using technology to better the Kingdom, much like most churches use other technology (social media, production equipment, email, etc.)

3. Go to a major Christian concert or festival.

One of the best but often overlooked places to find Christian singles in your area is at a Christian music concert of festival. These tend to attract large groups of festival-goers (including singles) and puts you in an environment where everyone is open to meeting new people.

Yes, you will have to have a little courage to start up a conversation, but the environment makes it incredibly easy.

  • “Did you enjoy that set?”
  • “Who are you most excited to see today?”
  • “Are you here with your church?”

These are all super easy things you can say to start a conversation with someone you might be interested in.

The great news is that these concerts and events happen all over the place all the time. To find options, search for Christian concerts in my area. Or, it’s possible you live by some of the biggest options out there.

Here are a few of the biggest Christian music festivals that are great for meeting singles:

4. Look for Christian singles events or speaker series in your area.

Another great option for finding Christian singles in your area is to look for special events or speaker series geared toward singles. These might be at your church, but they also might be elsewhere. Hopefully, your church is made aware of any events in the area, but that is not always the case.

Some examples of bigger events include:

But make sure you check regularly because more localized events happen all the time.

5. Explore other churches in your area.

Lastly, churches are on the same team. In fact, we believe that the church is a group of people, not a building with four walls. What this means is that you can totally look to meet someone who shares your same beliefs even at a different church!

It’s easy to think that the only place to find Christian singles in your area is at your own church. This is simply not the case.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, spread your wings! Check out a singles event at another church. Visit for a service or special event and see who you might meet. At the very least, you’ll get to enjoy a wider array of the Church family and probably have a lot of fun doing it.
