Have some questions? Here are some answers.

How much does it cost to join BACS?
Joining BACS is free. The only costs involve the cost of specific events. We strive to make this ministry available to as many people as possible. There is sometimes a nominal fee to cover expenses related to the event. Some events such as bocce ball or pottery painting require more of a cost. We strive to make the cost of the event as low as possible. Dinner for BACS events is covered by each attendee. Cost for events are usually very low.
Where are BACS events held?
BACS events are spread out throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We try to ensure we cover different parts of the Bay Area in order to make events as accessible for all. Some of these events occur at a venue and others at a church. The dinner portion is usually held at a food court type of restaurant that allows easy payment by each attendee and also ample time to mingle.
We are always looking for low cost venues throughout the Bay Area. If you have a community room, church, or even an office conference room, we would love to hear from you.
How do I join BACS?
Joining BACS is free. Click here to join. There are three requirements. You must…
- Be a Christian
- Be single, not in a serious relationship (divorcees are welcomed after a finalized divorce)
- Be open to dating and marriage (in other words, marriage is a prospect and the group is not intended merely as a singles social event)
Can I invite friends?
Yes, we encourage members to invite friends. BACS is not publicly marketed so our group is spread through word-of-mouth. Please be sure to invite only friends that meet the three criteria for joining BACS. To recap, they must be a Christian, single, and also open to dating and marriage. BACS is not a fellowship group for singles but a place where singles come for the purpose of being equipped and connected with others for the purpose of dating and marriage.
How can I bring BACS to a singles group?
We believe that there are many flaws in the Western Christian culture of dating. These problems are often only discovered after many decades of being single. We hope to bring a biblical view of dating and marriage to singles starting from high school and above. If you know of a singles group that would benefit, please connect with us. All BACS seminars are completely free.
I’m dating someone, can I join BACS?
BACS events are only for single Christians who are not in a serious relationship. If you are dating to the extent where you are not in a position to go on a date with someone else then we ask that you pass on BACS events. The reason why we keep events only for singles is to ensure that when singles come to BACS events, they can rest assured that the people they are meeting are single. Don’t worry, if you’re in a relationship, you are able to still benefit from our articles and seminars posted on our Youtube page. Check our Resources page for more.
Is there an age limit to join BACS?
There is no age limit to join BACS. There are only three requirements. Get more details on these requirements at our Join page.
We do not have an age limit because our focus especially for seminars is to equip single Christians. We believe that all ages would benefit from equipping. We highly encourage BACS members to follow the 10/1/1 Goal found in our Four Cups Paradigm page and team up with other singles to organize one social event a month. Although BACS events are meant to connect singles, we believe that the best connecting is done organically by other singles organizing their own events. This way, instead of one BACS event a month, the BACS community could have a dozen events happening each month.
The majority of BACS members are between the ages of 35-50.
I’m divorced, can I attend BACS?
Yes, BACS is for single Christians whether they are divorced or widowed. For those who are divorced, we ask that divorcees attend BACS events only after they have had their divorces finalized. We believe this criteria is prudent and ensures that potential relationships developed between BACS members are allowed the best opportunity to flourish.
