			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="single-parent-families" href="http://oasis-church-nj.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/single-parent-families.jpg"><img style="float: left;" src="http://oasis-church-nj.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/single-parent-families.jpg" alt="single-parent-families" width="142" height="190" /></a>This may surprise you: There are now more single parent families (30%) in the US than two parent family households (24%). Yet, most churches continue to give a backseat to single parent families as the traditional nuclear family remains the primary ministry focus.  This remains true even in NJ  where single parent families (families run by single parents) have increased more than four times as fast as married-couple families since 2000.</p>
<p>According to our extensive <a href="http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=632652" target="_blank">online survey on singles and church attendance</a>, the above facts leaves many single parents feeling like &#8220;second class citizens&#8221; and a large majority end up avoiding church all together. How sad!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Oasis Church and Single Parent Families Ministry</h2>
<p>At  newly forming Oasis Church, one of our primary ministry goals will be to minister equally to singles, single parent families and married couples. Therefore, if you are a single parent looking for a  good church or<a href="http://oasis-church-nj.com/oasis-connect-groups-sign-up" target="_blank"> support group</a> in the Central NJ area, we want you to know that there is a place for you and your children at the OC in NJ.</p>
<p>We want to warmly invite you to join us in one of our <a href="http://oasis-church-nj.com/get-involved/find-a-nj-small-group" target="_blank">Connect Groups</a> for support, spiritual encouragement and friendship. You could also <a href="http://oasis-church-nj.com/contact" target="_blank">contact us about our single parenting seminars</a> that will be taking place in different areas of Middlesex, Somerset and Union Counties like Edison, Woodbridge, South Brunswick, Somerset, Franklin, Green Brook, Dunellen, Piscataway, New Brunswick, Perth Amboy,  North Brunswick and many other locales.</p>
<p>Have kids between the ages of 4 and 5th grade, and want to spend some precious time with them learning about God together at home?  Feel free to <a href="http://oasis-church-nj.com/category/kids-clubs-blog" target="_blank">check out our online, interactive Oasis Kids Club Blog </a>where you and your kids can have fun learning about God and enjoy interactive crafts, games and activities.</p>
<p>Overall, we realize single parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world. That&#8217;s why  our purpose at Oasis Church is to equip and encourage single parent families to thrive spiritually and emotionally as they do life together.</p>
