Every year the Assemblies of God sets aside the first Sunday in November to recognize and honor single adults for the contributions they have made to the church and its ministries. Single adults have devoted themselves numerous ways in nursery care, pre-school classes, elementary classes, youth ministries, singles ministries, senior ministries, choir, the mission committee, etc.

According to Single Adult Ministries (SAM) website, in the US,
