Connecting Christian Singles since 2025

The aim of The Social Spark is to create meaningful connections among Christian singles for community and dating.

Why “The Social Spark”

There are SO many singles in the world but for lots of reasons, it’s just harder to meet in real life. The struggle as a Christian single is even harder as we try to find someone who holds the same values and Christian standards as we do.

Everyone wants to meet someone “out in the wild” but how do you actually do that when you don’t know where to start and what events to attend where there is a chance to meet actual Christian singles. In January 2025 I decided to do something about it and without really having any idea of what I was doing, I started The Social Spark (or what it used to be: Knoxville Christian Singles).

So far, The Social Spark has brought together two couples (that I know of!) and countless numbers of friendships and community in East TN (>300 attendees at events across 2025)!

I love creating spaces for Christian singles to connect whether that be through dating specific events or more social gatherings. You never know who you could meet anywhere!

You can expect one formally organized event per month varying in location and format.
