How it all got started
Christine has lived in 5 states and been single for the last 10 years. Growing up in the church, navigating many of her formidable years as a single woman, she quickly noticed the lack of resources available for single people (that wasn't a bible study or a matchmaking service), and the disproportionate way singles were treated. As a single woman, her life choices were constantly in question and misunderstood. Does a person's life have value outside of marriage and parenthood? The answer is emphatically, yes.
In 2022, Christine had conversations with separate people over the course of a few weeks where she bemoaned the ill treatment she felt she'd received as a single woman and the lack of resources available for singles. Each person listened quietly, when she was done, they each stated that this sounded like a passion of hers and that she should do something about it. After the third conversation, she decided to channel her frustration into action. In fall of 2022, she began laying the ground work of Come Tell A Story and March of the following year was the first show. It was beautiful. Better than she could have imagined. Christine created Come Tell A Story to be a voice to single people everywhere, to proclaim to the world that God loves single people too, and to let singles and marrieds alike know that there isn’t anything wrong with being single. In fact, singleness is right.
