REACHING OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF HAMILTON

The Hamilton Single’s Ministry is dedicated to developing healthy Christian singles and single believers in understanding and knowing God’s will for their lives.  The group seeks to develop strong family units, meeting spiritual, social, or financial needs while promoting fellowship with other single believers.
