Finding Adam Finding Eve’s small group formation model brings 6-10 Catholic singles together for a structured 9-session series, facilitated by trained leaders, that combines theological teaching with practical dating application, group discussion, and prayer. This is not group therapy, a Bible study with a dating theme, or a covert singles mixer. It is Catholic formation in community — a place where participants learn the Church’s vision for love and marriage while being accompanied by others on the same journey.
The Deeper Story
One of the biggest lies Catholic singles believe is that they have to figure dating out on their own. Pray harder. Read more books. Wait. But that’s not how God designed us to grow. We were made for community, and formation happens best when you’re accompanied by others who are pursuing the same call.
Our formation series prepares you spiritually and emotionally for marriage wherein we truly learn to give ourselves away in the Gift of Self. The path includes: participate in the Sacraments of Grace, spend time with Jesus in prayer, commit to spiritual formation, be accompanied by others, and invite others. “Be accompanied by others” is not an afterthought — it’s essential. You need people who will tell you the truth in love, who will pray with you through confusion, and who will celebrate your growth.
Each of the nine sessions follows a consistent rhythm. It begins with theological teaching drawn from Theology of the Body, the Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person, and our four formation documents: Foundational Teachings, Expanded Theological Teachings, Practical Dating Guide, and Common Struggles guide. Then comes practical application — real-world scenarios, self-reflection, and skill-building. Group discussion follows, where participants share honestly in a facilitated, prayerful environment. And every session closes with prayer.
What This Means for Your Dating Life
In a small group, you stop being the only one trying to live out Catholic dating in a culture that doesn’t understand it. You gain vocabulary for what you’re experiencing. You hear other people name the exact struggle you thought was yours alone. You practice articulating your values out loud, which makes it immeasurably easier to articulate them on a date.
And you build friendships with people who get it — people who are rooting for your vocation, not just your Friday night plans.
