It's not an untapped market if very few singles even attend church, which is what I'm often finding.
I'll putt his link to the "Mature singles" section here
Lack of Singles Ministry
Apparently. not many churches cater to the matures singles as churches assume people that attend their congregation is inundated with those married with children.
It's as if you're the invisible boy/gal in their church. I would try to single out a single lady...to see if she is standing alone out there in the crowd. When I would approach her, she'd always have a husband that doesn't go to church or works on Sundays.
Single people are now relegated to meet people by secular means via just the general public events and venues. Gyms, college classes, Meetup groups, etc. Through friends and co-workers. Of course, if you meet someone this way you'd have to find out their belief system.
Yeah, my church isn't into being sociable. It's more like "go to church and go home and prepare for work the next day".
I'd sometime see housewives and husbands chatting a bit with each other after the service, but it's only for a few mins, then they go on with their lives in the secular world.
The problem just perpetuates itself. Since a lot of singles are doing this, for any one single that tries to go to church, they'll be the solo one sitting there...alone.
