- Beyond enjoying the show of a favorite or newly discovered artist, concerts are a great way to meet people who share your passion for music. You can check out several Christian artists, such as Israel Houghton and Chris Tomlin, but you do not have to exclude secular music. Bands like Switchfoot and One Republic, for example, have Christian musicians and their music is positive and uplifting.
- From Broadway to Las Vegas and even your local theater, you can branch out and experience the performing arts. Many Christian universities host events such as art gallery openings, plays and dance productions. You can view an activities calendar on the school website or visit a theater in the area and get information on its upcoming shows.
- If you are looking for a direct connection to activities and people who share your faith in Christ, retreats and conferences are perfect. People come from all over the country to hear keynote speakers and enjoy fellowship with other believers. In fact, you may not have to go very far. Check with the churches in your area to see what events are coming up and who the guest speakers will be. Christian radio stations are another great place to tune in and find out what is happening on a national scale.
- Cruises have a variety of themes and a number of them focus on Christian singles. All Christian and Premier Christian Cruises are just two of the lines that offer three-, five- or seven-day voyages that start at approximately $350. You can expect to find an environment much like a conference, with praise and worship, concerts and performances by Christian artists, preaching and even workshops. This is a creative way to enjoy a vacation and meet new people in a godly atmosphere.
- Depending on the state you live in, you may be able to find Christian coffee houses, comedy clubs and cafes that host an array of events, like Glory Rock Cafe in New York. These are perfect places to hang out and catch a show that you know will be good for your soul. If you are not in a place that has these types of facilities, check to see whether Christian events or artists are scheduled to appear on specific dates at your regular venues.
