Introduction
The Philotheos Singles Network of Restored Gospel Believers Ministries is a vibrant and purposeful ministry focused on supporting and nurturing the spiritual, emotional, and social well-being of single adults within the church community. The name “Philotheos,” derived from the Greek word meaning “lover of God,” reflects the network’s commitment to fostering a deep and abiding love for God among its members. This love is not only expressed in personal devotion but also in the pursuit of purposeful, God-centered relationships and lives that glorify Him.
The Philotheos Singles Network is an integral ministry of the Restored Gospel Believers Ministries, established to meet the spiritual, emotional, and relational needs of single Christians.
