Singles Ministry

First United Methodist Church of Carbondale actively seeks out ways to minister to singles in the community. For information on the singles ministry and activities or to receive a current newsletter, please call Necia Jannings at 457-2416.

The Singles Ministry is dedicated to enriching the single life. Singles and single parents, age 60 years and younger, are invited to join us in social activities and guided discussions relevant to the single life.   For those over the age of 60, please click on this link for Older Adult Ministries information.

  • General meetings, group discussions, and social activities  as well as special programs and service projects are scheduled throughout the month. 
  • First Wednesday of each month is a time to get-together, enjoy some social time, and meet new friends.

A variety of Sunday School classes for all ages are offered each Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. Singles are welcome to join any adult class at any time.

Special Seminar Series are offered periodically to discuss issues related to the single life in a seminar or retreat setting.

All Singles are invited to join us for worship at our traditional worship services each Sunday morning, 8:15 and 10:45 a.m.
