Finally, a Space Built for You
You're faithful. You're intentional. You're ready.
​
But finding meaningful connection in the Adventist community isn't always easy, especially when most church events aren't designed with singles in mind.
​​
Try This at Home: Dating is a full weekend experience built specifically for Adventist singles ages 20–45 who are serious about community, growth, and the possibility of something more.
​
In one weekend, you'll move into genuine connection through honest conversation, shared experiences, and a community of people who understand exactly where you are.​
​
This weekend is for you if:
-
You're an Adventist single between the ages of 20 and 45
-
You've never married, are divorced, or widowed and are open to new relationships
-
You're tired of hoping connection just "happens" and want to be in a room where it's the whole point
-
You want a faith-centered space that takes relationships seriously without taking itself too seriously
-
You're ready to show up, engage, and give this a real chance
