Everybody goes through different stages in life. One of these stages is the Unmarried Life Stage. You could be single, dating or engaged but you are still called to live a pure life. It is easy while in this stage of life to be consumers of the culture and live for yourself with no consequences for your future. Our goal is to create an atmosphere where we are looking forward and preparing for our future by dealing with the hard realities every young unmarried person faces. Element is launching two small groups to meet that need: Fortified - our young unmarried guy's group and Sanctified - our young unmarried gal's group. We separate by gender simply because you cannot openly discuss and deal with single issues in a co-ed setting.
Guy's Group
Our Young Unmarried Guys Group focuses on single living in the 21st century. What does it mean to be a Godly, unmarried guy? How can one prepare himself for his future stages in life? When does a guy move out of the 'adolescence' stage of life into manhood?
These are just a few of the questions our guys' group tries to answer as we develop Godly men who:
- Leave their parents' home.
- Become disciples of Christ.
- Become leaders in the church.
- Finish education/vocational training.
- Start into a career tract job.
- Meet a woman, propose, marry her, and have children.
- Become leaders over their families.
Our primary objective is to shape men of God who take seriously their duty, mission, and relationships in life.
Join us as we meet weekly. Some of the topics this year will include: 'Dealing with Annoying People,' 'The Art of Manliness,' 'Sex for singles,' Interviews with married men, cooking, cleaning, setting and following budgets, paying bills, dancing, home and auto repair, yard work and so much more. We will have monthly get-togethers for service projects and/or fun activities (like going to the shooting range, poker nights, and lamb sheering - oh yes, mutton busting).

Women's Group
Element's Young Unmarried Women's Group focuses on single living in the 21st century. What does it mean to be a Godly, unmarried woman? How can one prepare herself for her future stages in life? When does a girl move out of the 'adolescence' stage of life into womanhood? How does a young woman find a Godly young man to marry?
The Young Unmarried Women's Group exists to mature and transform the lives of young women, to connect young women to one another, to worship God together, and to prepare young women for marriage. We desire to become women of God who take seriously our faith, mission, and relationships in life.
Join us as we meet weekly. Some of the topics this year will cover: Biblical knowledge and faith, personality styles, womanhood, manhood, interpersonal relationships, contentment, and purity. We will also have interviews with married women and with men. We will learn some important skills such as cooking, crocheting, gift wrapping, hostess etiquette, and more. Join us as we also get together for service projects and leisure activities!

Christian parents who dedicate a child are making a promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise the child in a godly way, prayerfully, until he or she can follow Christ on his or her own within the framework of gospel community. Parents who make this vow of commitment are instructed to raise their children in the ways of God. Some of the responsibilities include teaching and training the child in God's Word, demonstrating an example of godliness, disciplining according to God's ways, and praying earnestly for the child.
