Abstract
The study was about an Assessment of the Challenges facing Single Mothers on their
Spiritual Growth in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The objective was to establish
the biblical and theological foundations for single mothers on their spiritual growth in
the Seventh Dy Adventist Church. The Marxist Theory of Feminism was used. The study
was conducted in Kisii County which is in Western Kenya. The target population in the
study included 5 Churches within the Nyanchwa Station, South Kenya Conference. The
researcher employed a census sampling method from the 5 churches with a sample
population of 105 participants. The main instruments of data collection for the study were
questionnaires, focused group discussions, and oral interviews. The study established
the biblical and theological foundations for single mothers by referencing single mothers
in the Bible. The study recommended that all aspects of inclusivity, acceptance and being
welcome need to be accorded to all Christians, regardless of their marital status; The
Church in Africa could borrow a leaf from the Church in the West in practicing the
doctrine and social teaching of the church, about accepting members as they come; and
Pastoral Councils and Christians in leadership need to be on the front line in practicing
inclusiveness and acceptance of every Christian.
