A.S.P.I.R.E. (Antioch Singles Praising In Righteous Edification)

Our vision is to one, overcome the stereotypes we have of single adults. Singles are not all just looking to get married. Second, our vision includes people, community-building relationships, and helping people become all they can be for Christ, not just programs or organizations. Thirdly, our vision integrates single adults into the whole life of the church and provides structures that emphasize this integration. Lastly, singles are ambassadors for Christ and we focus on four major areas of relationship:

First, we focus on growing in our relationship with God.

Second, we have relationships with one another. There are over 50 "one another" commands in the New Testament—love one another, encourage one another, support one another. We need a context where we can live out and be obedient to those commands.

Third is our relationship with ourselves (spiritual maturity, emotional maturity, identifying our calling, receiving emotional and spiritual healing). We have been broken by sin and need to be healed. That’s part of the sanctification process—it is holistic in the sense that God is putting us back together. We will not be fully mature in this life, but there should be genuine progress in maturity.

Fourth is our relationship with the world (outreach). This includes global missions, but it must begin in our communities. We do service projects in our community.
