Get Over Here: A Single’s Guide to Building Meaningful Community

Singleness isn’t a problem to be solved.It’s just another route to togetherness.

- fresh perspective on singleness
- focuses on the need we all share for connection
- offers practical ideas about how to foster friendship, build community, and put Christ at the center of every relationship


Regardless of relationship status, we all have the same desire for nearness, understanding, and love. We all need friendships and dinner parties, celebrations and commiseration, lament and commitment. We all need community--and we all need Jesus.

Through her relatable storytelling, deep theological insight, and practical wisdom, Melissa Zaldivar offers a refreshing take on being single in the church. She shows single people how to intentionally build authentic, life-giving relationships that put our mutual faith in Christ at the center rather than the cultural trappings of dating, marriage, parenthood, and other false distinctions.

Your community is waiting. Let’s come to one another with open arms and proclaim, ＂Get over here!＂ with joy and hope.


＂This wise and measured guidebook will help every reader who is single feel seen, known, and understood right where they are.＂--Lisa Whittle, Bible teacher and bestselling author of Jesus Over Everything
