- Abstract
- Single moms’ ministries are essential for contemporary churches, due to the increase in single moms. Strong and Courageous is a ministry developed for implementation through the local church to encourage, equip, and empower single mothers. This ministry project focuses on the importance of and need for a Bible-based single moms’ ministry within the local church. It provides research to back up the need for a single moms’ ministry, as well as a ministry model for churches to utilize. Last, the ministry project provides instructions about how to start a single moms’ ministry within local congregations. Research for this project has produced alarming, eye-opening information crucial to the development of this ministry. Chapter 1 covers the need for a single moms’ ministry within the local church by offering statistics as to the increase of single mothers within the United States and the percentage of those who are unchurched.Chapter 2 covers the introduction and explanation of Strong and Courageous Ministry, explaining its purpose and what it offers. Chapter 2 unfolds the Strong and Courageous Ministry model as well as its outreaches. Last, it presents an example of one of the outreach models, a seven-week Bible study curriculum. Chapter 3 documents the implementation as well as the assessment of the single moms’ ministry that was executed through First Baptist Dallas during the Fall of 2019. Chapter 3 provides step-by-step instructions for beginning a single moms’ ministry within a local church setting. This research has proven the need and importance for a Bible-based single moms’ ministry within the local church setting. The project has provided not only evidence of the need, but also a model of how best to meet the need and to implement the ministry within the local church. Last, chapter 3 introduces additional outreach information from the Strong and Courageous Ministry, including an online presence to provide additional equipping and encouragement for single mothers and for church leaders who desire to implement a single moms’ ministry in their own churches.
