In a sermon, our pastor criticized online dating. But our church doesn’t offer anything to help single people meet. I don’t know what they expect people to do. I am not about to start hitting on girls during service after meeting them once. Who wants their worship service to turn into a hookup scene? But if not if not that then what? I just don’t think our church has really thought it through. I love their equipping classes and think they could really do something interesting with those. What if they had equipping classes for singles? Maybe a 12 week class on a book of the bible. 12 people to the class, 6 girls and 6 guys. Each week one guy is paired up with a girl and they study that weeks material together. They spend an hour together working on the material. Each person with be with each girl (or guy) twice. They learn a book of the bible and meet some people in their church.
Maybe you have to worry about people with devious intentions, but surely there would be easier ways for them to meet people than this. And the class can have rules like people agree not to meet outside of class beside for study until the class is finished. They agree to wait to have sex until they are married.
