                      The four-wheeling trip to Colorado

Q: How did the group begin?

 A: The group began about 9 years ago (around 2000) as a "Lifegroup" from a local church. The first time we met, it was with a few people in a living room that included both single people and married couples. It grew successfully and met a real need for singles looking to meet other singles and grow in their faith. In 2004 Jodi Young (now Jodi Anglin) was asked to take over the leadership and added the name "B.A.S.I.C. Singles - Brothers And Sisters In Christ" to help identify the group and to let people know what we're about. Two years later the church we were affliated with redesigned their lifegroup program and decided to dissolve the former lifegroups (because at that time there were only a handful that still existed). Since we were one of the few that was still active, by this time over half of the members of our group consisted of people who attended other churches who just didn't have a singles group but enjoyed participating in ours. We then decided that since the groups were officially dissolved that we would continue our group as it is.

Q: What church or denomination are you affliated with?

A: We are not affliated with a church, we are an inter-denominational group that is comprised of people who attend a wide variety of churches in the Tulsa area. Many of our members of our group represent just about every local church in Tulsa/Broken Arrow and a number of our members are from out of state.

Q: Do I  have to attend a church to go to your group's outtings?

A: No. You don't have to belong to a church or attend regularly, but we do encourage it. If you don't have a home church, please feel free to ask me about a church and I'll be glad to introduce you to a member of our group that attends that church and you can make arrangements to meet up with them.

Q: Does it cost to join?

A: Absolutely not! If money is collected for an event the money goes towards food, the rental of a location or other incidentals - the group is just a grass roots kind of group that exists for singles.

Q: Is it okay to bring my kids?

A: Absolutely, unless the event states otherwise. 99.9% of our events are "kid-friendly" and we welcome kids.

Q: What's the average age of the people in the group? 

A: The average age is somewhere between 30 and 40. That's not to say that we don't have people who are somewhat younger and somewhat older. Generally, the group is 25 and up.

Q: Does anyone actually date or meet through the group?

A: YES!!! This is a great place to meet someone special and get to know them. We have recently had 14 people (that's 7 couples) meet and get married who otherwise would not have known each other - myself included!!! :-)

Q: Do you allow alcohol at any of your functions?

A. No, for several reasons but most importantly because there are a number of members who have had challenges with alcohol in the past and out of consideration we ask that you refrain from ordering or consuming alcoholic beverages when we go out to eat at restaurants with us or come to our functions. It's also important to us to maintain a family atmosphere for the single parents who bring their kids to our group and we like to show people that alcohol isn't a necessary ingredient to having a great time. Thank you in advance for honoring this request.
