From the inception of Cache' Connections, it's been our plan to have close partnerships with churches and singles leaders. Although, we have found it's not as easy as it seems. Our business is definitely "out of the box" for most pastors, as we are all aware that online dating has somewhat of a negative stigma attached to it, and rightly so. Having a one-on-one conversation with the powers-to-be can be quite an accomplishment. But, if we can get through the gatekeepers, i.e., the assistants and secretaries, we explain to them that we are taking a modern-day trend (online dating) and helping Christian singles strengthen their faith and hopefully help them find a mate. Of course, there are those who understand the importance of being relevant in today's society and then there are those who are slower to come around to new ways of thinking.
We are most excited about a possible new partnership with Perimeter Church in Atlanta. Their leadership team attended the pastor's luncheon last week since one of the leadership members has been quite insistent about Perimeter hosting an event. She came to both our events in Atlanta and had a great time and thought this would be a great boost for their one-year old, re-established singles group. We are looking forward to developing a proposal for them and hopefully - an event partnership!
On another note, sign-ups are increasing for the National Singles Week Conference and Connection Party which is only 2 weeks away, September 26th in Schaumburg, IL. You can take a look at the information here
Have a wonderful week and enjoy this beautiful weather!
