The Bible says that love is patient (1 Corinthians 13:4a)—but it’s hard to feel that way when you’re constantly waiting for that special someone to enter your life. Still, with all of the dating resources out there, meeting a single, God-fearing woman is easier than you may think. We’ve outlined plenty of different ways to meet Christian singles, so you can enjoy a fulfilling relationship with someone who shares your faith and convictions.

Plenty of single Christian women are signed up on different online dating sites.

- Feel free to strike up a conversation with a simple “How are you?” or “Great to see you this morning!”
- If you’ve never talked with her before, ask a question like “Are you a regular here?” or “Is this your first time here?”
- If meeting a single girl at church feels impossible, just think of Psalm 37:4: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

Religious Events

Plenty of churches host big social events outside of their regular services. Maybe your church has a potluck, concert, or other big event on the horizon. Mark your calendar and take some time to stop by when the big day rolls around. Religious events typically have way bigger attendance than your average church service, which makes them the potentially perfect place to meet single Christian women. Ask around to see what events are coming up at your church, or take a peek at your church’s bulletin or website.
- Tune into the “announcements” portion of the service, if your church has one. This is a great way to stay up-to-date on the latest and greatest events in your spiritual community.

A semi-religious event could be a great place to meet a Christian girl. Not all weddings are religious affairs, but some definitely are. So, if you find yourself invited to a traditional, church-style wedding, try mingling with some of the other guests and see what happens. There are plenty of ways you can strike up a conversation, like:
- Commenting on the food (“Man, I wish I’d gone for the vegetarian dish. Your ravioli looks awesome!”)
- Mentioning the weather (“I know they say rain is unlucky, but this still was a really beautiful wedding.”)
- Asking for an opinion (“Wow, that was some maid of honor speech. What did you think about it?”)^{[6]

- “Wow! You’re really good at this. Mind giving me a hand?”
- “You really seem like you know what you’re doing. I’m assuming you’re not a first-timer?”

Friend & Family Matchmaking

Download Article

Your friends and family might be able to set you up with a Christian girl they know. Maybe your parents have a friend with a single daughter, or your friend has a single, church-going neighbor. There are plenty of possible match-ups out there that are just a phone call or text away, as long as you’re willing to put yourself out there. If you have a mentor in faith, that person can also be helpful.^{[8]

Expert Interview} You might say something like:
- “Hey Daniel! I really want a GF who shares my faith, but I’ve been hitting a brick wall on Tinder and Bumble. I know you’re pretty active at your church—do you know anyone who might be interested in grabbing a coffee sometime?”
