Faith In Action Singles Ministry
Who are we?

New Life Church Faith in Action Singles (FIAS) exists to help singles CONNECT with each other, GROW in their faith, SERVE others in the love of Christ, and REACH their world for Jesus. NLC Faith in Action Singles are defined as legally single men and women (ages 30 to 50+) who are actively pursuing a relationship with Jesus by living out God’s purposes for their lives. Whether you’ve never been married, are divorced, are widowed, are a single parent, or are engaged and want great fellowship and friends as you go through your engagement process, this is the place for you. God doesn’t want us to live in isolation. Psalm 68:6 tells us, “God places the lonely in families…” That’s us! NLC Faith in Action Singles is a family where we can know others and be known.

What do we do?

We meet every Sunday for “Eat-Ups” (aka Lunch) in Marin and Sonoma after the 11 AM church service and we meet on other days for service/faith/social activities, including volunteering with the homeless, visiting the elderly, playing team sports and board games, going to movies, concerts, festivals, prayer nights in other cities, and much more!

FIAS Group Discussion Guidelines.

We:

  1. Trust God to guide our discussions. (Proverbs 3:5)
  2. “Do everything in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:14
  3. Do not share with others what individuals share in the group–what is shared by individuals in the group stays in the glass dome of the group. (Proverbs 11:13)
  4. Listen respectfully, without interrupting. (James 1:19)
  5. Listen actively and with an ear to understanding others’ views. (Let us not just think about what we are going to say while someone else is talking.) (Proverbs 18:13)
  6. Criticize ideas, not individuals. (Matthew 7:1-5)
  7. Commit to learning, not debating. Commenting to share information, not to persuade. (Proverbs 1:5)
  8. Avoid blame, speculation, and inflammatory language. (2 Timothy 2:23)
  9. Allow everyone a chance to speak. (Matthew 7:12)
  10. Avoid assumptions about any member of the group or generalizations about social groups. Do not ask individuals to speak for their (perceived) social group. (John 7:24)
  11. Share opinions from our own experience, not telling someone else what to do. (Job 32:10)
  12. Instead of giving someone unsolicited advice, if the Lord puts in our heart to advise someone, after the group discussion we ask that person privately if they would like your opinion on how they should proceed. (Colossians 4:6)
  13. Are not afraid to bring our thoughts, feelings, and opinions forward. (Romans 12:10)
  14. Have fun! (Philippians 4:4)
