PSYCHOLOGY OF DATING: The Premier Christian Singles Event for Understanding Dating
**This is the Mid-Career Professionals Night. Suggested age is 40+.
Why do we date who we date? Discover the psychology behind love, attraction, and godly relationships as the Christian event for understanding dating comes to the Washington D.C. area for the first time ever.
Featuring: World-Class Coaching • Worship • Q&A • Mixer
ABOUT THE EVENT: Modern Christian dating can feel frustrating.
Many singles feel:
• Unsure how to navigate attraction vs. character
• Confused about emotional availability
• Tired of shallow dating advice
• Concerned about wasting time in the wrong relationships
• Discouraged by the pressure and awkwardness of typical singles events
For many believers, the desire for a meaningful relationship is strong – but the path forward feels unclear.
Psychology of Dating is designed to help Christian singles understand the deeper dynamics behind attraction, compatibility, and godly relationships.
Blending relationship psychology, biblical wisdom, and practical coaching, this event equips you to approach dating with clarity, confidence, and purpose – in an environment where connection happens naturally and authentically, without the awkward singles-event vibe.
You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of:
• Why we are drawn to certain people
• Attachment styles and emotional availability
• How to identify character over chemistry
• Healthy boundaries and communication
• Dating with intentionality instead of confusion
Featuring Jenny Boyett & The ColorWorks Group
★ Best-selling author of I Said This, You Heard That
★ A training organization of renowned speakers and relationship coaches helping people understand how their God-given wiring shapes the way they lead, relate, and communicate
★ Endorsed by respected leaders like John Maxwell, Andy Stanley, and Patrick Lencioni
The Stats of Singleness in Christianity
• 54% of U.S. adults (18–49) are single—for the first time in history, there are more single adults than married adults
• 61% of the church’s 20s–30s audience is single
• 45% of singles in their 20s and 30s leave church because they feel isolated
Yet for every Christian book on singleness, there are nearly 300 books on marriage.
This event exists to change that conversation.
• Grace at Ballston Quarter: 4238 Wilson Blvd. (2nd Floor) Arlington, VA 22203
• Doors Open at 5:45pm. The Event Begins at 6:30pm.
• Suggested Age 40+

Men’s Summit: From Hiding to Healing
2026-03-23 18:30 - 21:00 | Reston Bible Church, 45650 Oakbrook Court, Dulles, VA, 20166, United States
Join us March 23 to hear from author, speaker and pastor Craig Brown on “From Hiding to Healing.”
For many, emotional pain is a part of life. For some, it is a bump in the road, but often it has a devastating impact, causing missed opportunities, broken relationships, and even addiction. Craig will present engaging stories of redemption which will inspire even those in the most seemingly hopeless situations. His experience helping thousands of men through Christ Centered recovery will help all of us be set free from the pain, shame and guilt of our pasts so we can live a life of freedom, meaning and purpose.
Craig is the author of Stop Hiding Start Healing, and will discuss how to uncover the root cause of our pain and shame while finding freedom from pornography, alcohol, food, anger, depression, anxiety, codependency, prescription meds, drugs, grief and isolation – some of the very things we use to hide instead of heal though God’s mercy and grace.
Even if you are not currently struggling we all know others who are and Craig’s message will also encourage and equip us to help those around us to be set free.
There will also be a Q&A time after the message.

Singles Retreat 2026: Calling and Community
2026-04-11 09:30 - 16:00 | Franciscian Monastery, 1400 Quincy St NE, Washignton, DC, 20017, United States
Join us for The District Church’s first Singles Retreat!
Singleness can be a season of great purpose, whether you want to get married or not. But it hasn’t always been treated that way — in the world or even in the church.
As Christians, we’re called to counter-cultural living: to become more like Jesus and obey his calling for us as individuals and as his church. What does that look like specifically for Christians who are single?
For those who desire marriage, how do we wait well? For those pursuing a relationship, how do we date in a way that demonstrates Christ, whether or not the other person turns out to be “the one”? What does singleness look like if we’re parents or if we’re called to intentional lifelong celibacy? And regardless of whether we’re single now or single forever, how do we work together with each other and with married couples to build a community that shines brightly as a light in the world — and as the bride of Christ?
Join us for a day of learning, discussion, prayer, and community building around these topics at the Franciscan Monastery on Saturday, April 11, from 9:30 am – 4:00 pm. This event is intended for members of The District Church, with content best suited for mid-20s and up. Everyone who is not married – whether completely single, dating, or engaged – is welcome. Note that this is NOT a social mixer, although there will be time to fellowship with other singles. (And if anyone does end up meeting their spouse, we’ll celebrate it!)
Registration is limited, so save your spot now! There is a participation fee of $20 per person to help cover venue, food, and supplies for the day, but please reach out if you need financial support to attend. Free childcare is available; please indicate in your registration if needed.
