What we’re about
Welcome to Christian Single Friends (45+)!
Here's a little about us, who we are and are not, what the group can do for you and what you can do for the group. And of course, the Group Rules and Terms of Service.
We ARE:
---A faith based, Christian group for Singles over 45
---A group for spiritual and life growth together as Christian Single Friends
---A group that shares Christian beliefs, values, and appropriate behavior
We are NOT:
---Affiliated with any church or denomination
---A “hook-up” group
What the Group Can Do for You
The purpose of all our events is to give you the opportunity to socialize with other single Christians who share similar interests and values. We strive to create safe, supportive events where members can connect with other believers, strengthen their faith, and build lasting relationships. Most events and activities will be in the Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels and/or Northeast San Antonio areas.
Typical events may include:
- Social Gatherings (dining, dancing, movies, etc.)
- Adventure Activities (walking trails, nature walks, hiking, picnics, water activities, maybe even a cruise!)
- In-Home Gatherings (BBQ, pool, food, snacks, games, etc.)
- Bible Studies/Discussions
- Volunteering/Serving the Community
- Various Christian services, worship, and other activities
What You Can Do for the Group
Bring your fun-loving, healthy attitude. Be kind and respectful of other members. Consider being an event host.
Group Rules and Terms of Service:
- Defining “Single” – Single means that you are not married. Separated and/or going through a divorce is still considered married. By applying to be a member, you are affirming that you are single according to this definition.
- RSVP Etiquette - Please be respectful and keep your RSVP current. If you can’t attend an event you have registered for, please update your RSVP so others have a chance to see if there is an opening to take your place. Some venues, such as restaurants, require limited attendance. In that case, we’ll have a waiting list for anyone who still wants to attend once an event is filled. If you are a “no-show” and you block someone on the waiting list from attending, you may lose your membership in the group. ***Three "no-shows", whether or not someone is on the waitlist, may result in termination from the group.***
- Additional RSVP Etiquette - The event host usually reserves enough seats for those who have RSVP'd. If you show up to an event without an RSVP for yourself and/or a guest, you may be asked to find your own seat so as to not take a seat from those who have reserved a spot. PLEASE, it cannot be stressed enough, be conscientious regarding your RSVPs.
- Profile Pictures - We require that your profile includes a clear picture of yourself without anyone else in the picture. This helps the host and others recognize you when you come to the events.
- Behavior – Remember, we are a Christian group, and we must present ourselves as a witness for Christ wherever we go. Most events will be held in public places. Please always present yourself in a respectable manner. Excessive drinking, immodest attire, vulgar language, rude behavior toward other group members, their guests, and/or any event staff (waiters/waitresses, etc.) will be addressed by the leadership team and may be a cause to be banned from the group. If you choose to consume alcohol, you will do so responsibly including, but not limited to, driving to/from events.
- Relationships – We encourage all members to make friends within the group, and we know that sometimes these friendships become more. If a closer relationship begins with someone in the group, your participation is still encouraged if it does not cause problems amongst other members.
- Photos - Photos are normally taken at our events and uploaded to the Meet-Up app so we can remember the good times. By becoming a member or participating in events, you agree to have your photo taken and potentially posted to Meet-Up or other social media.
- Membership Fee - $0 - Currently there are no membership fees. However, Meetup.com charges organizers a sizable subscription fee to have these groups. *Do not* pay Meetup for anything related to this group. If you would like to donate to the subscription fee to keep this group going, please contact the Organizer.
- Disclaimer - You are responsible for your own safety and for determining if you are in a condition fit to participate. In no event will anyone be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, consequential, or other damages arising from attending an event. Attendance is at your own risk. The organizer, co-organizer, event organizer, host, and Meetup.com are not responsible for loss, damage, theft, injury to oneself or equipment, allergic reactions, speeding/parking/red light tickets, or accidents with your vehicle.
