PURPOSE OF SERVICE.
SGS is an exclusively Reformed website and ministry serving the Reformed Christian community, based on Biblical and Reformed beliefs and teachings. It is designed for single men to connect with single women, and vice versa, for the purposes of exclusive romantic relationships, with the goal being marriage. It is also desired to serve SGS Members as a place to meet other Reformed singles for Friendship, Fun, Activities, Events, Conferences and Service. As a matter of belief, doctrine, and religious practice, SGS reserves the term marriage for the covenant relationship between one man (husband) and one woman (wife) to the exclusion of all others, as ordained by God. It is the most intimate of human relationships, a gift from God, a sacred institution, holy, and central to the community of faith. This covenant relationship also represents the union between Christ and His Body (the church). Genesis 2:18-24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:7-8; Ephesians 5:22-33; Colossians 3:18-19; 1 Peter 3:1-7; Hebrews 13:4. SGS is especially designed for Reformed Christian single men to connect with Christian single women, and vice versa. The fact that our membership is comprised of traditional Reformed singles, anyone outside of this target community will find it difficult to connect with anyone suitable for them on the service.
