Single Friendly Church Week

27th September - 4th October 2026

Everyone is invited – from church leadership to people in the pews – to join the 8-day campaign Single Friendly Church Week!

For one week, churches, leaders, and individuals across the UK are coming together to say clearly: single people at every stage of life are welcomed, valued, and included here. Whether you're never married, divorced, widowed, or a single parent, you belong at the heart of this community, and not on its edges.

This is your invitation to be part of the movement. Hosting an event during Single Friendly Church Week doesn't have to be complicated, it just has to be intentional. Together, we can inspire a culture shift that helps every person in your congregation truly flourish.

Not sure where to begin?
We want to make sure you have all of the resources you need to take part in whichever way suits your church community, so have created a variety of things to help you.

Belonging Conference - 26th September 2026

Single Friendly Church is kicking off Single Friendly Church Week with an invitation to their conference ‘Belonging: Every single person: loved, welcomed and valued’.

You are invited to a thought-provoking day of talks, panel discussions and workshops all on theology of singleness, single ministry as mission, the nuances of relationship status, single people's stories, and much more. This is not an event for single people solely but to ask how we can change the culture around singleness in churches across denominations.

When: Saturday 26th September, 10am - 4pm

Where: St Ethelburga's Centre,
78 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AG

We've designed the day to be a single friendly experience, with a variety of ways to engage and participate. Full programme details to follow soon.

For MCCN Co-ordinators it is an exciting time as we prepare for the two day gathering in Edinburgh in November. Thanks to all those who have already signed up and there's still plenty of time to book (although it helps to plan if you can book early).

Here is the Eventbrite link - https://MCCNEdinburgh2026.eventbrite.co.uk

Our visit to Edinburgh will provide an opportunity to learn more about this beautiful city and the Methodist church's place within it.

There is also an online prayer and share gathering planned for Tuesday 15th September at 3pm and we hope that you can join us as we share together and pray for one another.

Here is the link to register:- https://zoom.us/meeting/register/JUFCKibCQYuMhAwdAQcFHw

We're looking forward to the coming year and all that God is going to do through the work of MCCN.

One of the things you can't help notice as the Chair, visiting different churches, is how beautiful the Distirct is. This morning I was at Providence in Golcar. Not a bad view to walk out to after worshipping the Creator of all.
