Gee, I think young singles still meet young singles in Church related activities — not infrequently leading to marriages.
Is BINGO next?
The United Trinity Church did such a good job matching the obamys but they just can’t seem to get Oprah and Stedman married.
I am all for churches hosting events that would encourage interactions among Christian singles, as long as there was no homo play and the church didn’t become a meat market.
I would recommend that any such program be monitored closely, until it became clear that it was self-regulating.
Reminds me of many western movies and TV shows in which a young cowboy hopes to take a pretty girl to "the church social".
If you go back a 120 years, virtually everyone in the southern part of the US....met via a local church situation. It seemed to work in that time period, without any issues.
Church was where the Obama’z met. In Rev. Wright’s ‘down low club’.
They do, anyway.
The best thing churches can do to reverse the trend in marriage rates is work on getting young people to be less selfish.
YES, Church should help young people form unions and set up families. That leads to happiness and children, stability and community. Churches are the right place for this.
Short answer: yes, though a Christian version of Jewish matchmakers would be better.
The Christian matchmaker can draw from a broader pool than a small church to find a better match. It also saves the pastor from creating drama by pairing people who blow up, often driving one from the church to avoid the other.

Say what you want about that sign, but it readily lets me know to avoid the place
That’s what happens at my church. The “contemporary choir” and the homeless mission are particularly “matchmakey.”
That is how ALL of my married immediate family members met: at church functions. My sister married a pk/mk.
I met my husband at campmeeting at age 16. Boy, were the chaperones out in force. Church situations SHOULD BE the safest.
Many years ago, I went to temple alone for the high holidays. Not once, not twice , but three times some mother came up to me and wanted to introduce me to their daughter.
At my first high holidays with the wife, I ran into the mother. She said her daughter was there and wanted to introduce me. While waiting I told my wife the story. A couple of minutes later the woman appeared with her daughter. Turns out I dated her in high school.
No.
