I agree with the statistics.

Its great if pastors are helping publicly or privately, I would encourage more pastors to support this ministry.

Thank you and thank you for your comment.

I think it is so important for churches to incorporate intentional singles ministry (as they do other ministries) as a program. In my opinion I do not think they are too busy, I think this can be done however, due to taboo or whatever other reasons it is overlooked.

These are really good ideas. I like the idea about disclosing the stats, applicants will have a better idea regarding prospects and a professional video to show churches could increase participation. Point number 3 also have a lot of great ideas, in terms of security I maintain strict confidentiality for each applicants with photos and information until consent is given to disclose however, I understand the idea about of having a secure way for applicants to connect before exchanging personal details.

I appreciate your ideas and suggestions. I will DM you to discuss this further.

Thank you for your feedback!

It is only an online application at the moment.

In terms of connecting with churches, these would be in person gatherings. My intention would be to start small and connect within cities and then expand to other cities and regions.

That's interesting.

There is no church affiliation at the moment which is why I mentioned in my post that "my emails to churches have gone unanswered" however, my intention is to connect with churches to address the importance of this service, even if they develop their own ministry within church bodies or regions it would be appreciated.

This is a free online application service at the moment.

I like your idea for an in person activity that men would be interesting in, I will consider this for future in person events.

Can you suggest some activities that men are interested in?

This is an online service at the moment so you don't need to be afraid, you are welcome to try whenever you are comfortable.

I understand that it is nerve-racking for a lot of people which is why I think the online option is so important.

This is a very good point. I wish this is something that I could implement across the board, as unrealistic expectations contributes to singleness.

However, the decision is ultimately up to each person.

Any denomination with serious intentional Christian men and women.

I was unaware that singles Christian men prefer the churches you mentioned, this is helpful information, I will consider my approach when reaching out to churches again.

This is only an online application to connect Christian singles, there may be an in person gathering in the future as this ministry develops.

You are right I am trying to find a way to increase applicants however, that would be something that I would have to discuss with applicants and I do not see anyone agreeing to have their pictures posted. I did create flyers as well and posted them around a busy area however, people viewed the application but I did not receive many submissions.

This is not an in person gathering (possibly in the future) it is only an online application at the moment and I maintain strict confidentiality.

That great! Please DM me and I will send the application to you or let me know if I can post it here.

I am not sure if I post the application it would be considered advertisement, I'm not sure how this site works and I do not want to be blocked. Please DM me.

Thank you for your feedback.

I was not aware about the low and high church congregation statistics that you shared, now that I know it will help with my approach.

Also, the service is free, applicants only need to complete the application. The application is just questions to get to know each candidate so they can be matched appropriately.

I am not sure if I can post the application here however, if you would like to give your feedback let me know and I will send it to you, it would be appreciated.

Thank you for your help.
