Singleness is for Everyone A Night of Community, Theology, and Purpose

Singleness is increasingly common in the church. Today, nearly 40% of Christians ages 30–49 identify as single, yet many describe this season as marked by confusion, marginalization, or a lack of clear theological guidance. What does Scripture say about singleness—and how might it be understood not as a problem to solve, but as meaningful within the life of faith?
Join us at Upper House for an evening conversation open to anyone who has considered questions about singleness—whether you are single, married, seeking deeper community, or simply curious about God’s design for human life and calling. Together, we will explore how the Christian tradition speaks thoughtfully and honestly about singleness at every stage of life.
Even if you are not single yourself, chances are someone you love is. This gathering aims to build understanding and empathy across life stages, offering theological depth alongside genuine community for those seeking clarity, encouragement, and a more faithful imagination for singleness.
The evening will allow time to build new relationships, enjoy food and worship, and receive insightful teaching from Dr. Devin White on the theology of singleness. We will conclude with prayer ministry and open dialogue, creating a welcoming, low-pressure space to seek God together and respond personally.
Dr. Devin L. White serves as Fellow in Biblical Studies at the Lumen Center and is the author of Teacher of the Nations, a study of Paul’s engagement with ancient educational traditions, and Christ Reads in Me (forthcoming), which explores how Paul’s approach to Scripture continues to shape Christian interpretation today. His scholarship has appeared in peer-reviewed journals, and he regularly teaches, preaches, and facilitates learning experiences in local churches, bridging rigorous scholarship and the life of faith.
