Single's Ministries - JUSTASK
In 2005, one of our members found herself unhappily single. Alone
and lonely seemed to best describe the way that many of our community
members felt…until early 2006.
At that time, the idea of a singles ministry began but without
much excitement. As one of our ladies walked along the beach in
Florida, a name came to her as plain as an audible voice.

Kingdom
Their purpose was defined as “Ministry for self, mission
for others.” Since its inception in April, 2006, this has
given guidance and direction for this group. They are actively searching
for opportunities to share God’s love while experiencing His
love as well.
Every Tuesday, they participate in a Bible study in Huntington
at 7:00 pm at the Highlawn Baptist Church. On Wednesdays, they meet
together for dinner at Shoneys (29th Street Exit of I-64) before
coming to prayer meeting/Bible study together.
Their weekends are often filled with outings to ball games, fairs,
game nights, worship experiences, trips to the ice cream parlor,
mini-golf, excursions, and more. Following morning worship on Sundays,
they enjoy lunch together before enjoying an impromptu activity
(movie, visit to the nursing home or loved ones).
No longer does this group say they are bored and lonely. They are
now engaging God’s people in ministry. They are growing together
and serving together. They are actively seeking souls for the kingdom
of God!
