}}The Singles Ward is a 2002 LDS cinema romantic comedy film directed by Kurt Hale written by himself and John E. Moyer, based on his own life as a standup comedian and single member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Like The R.M., and other films which followed it, The Singles Wards target audience is members of the LDS Church and citizens of Utah. The film follows Jonathan Jordan, a recently divorced Mormon stand-up comedian who has not practiced his faith in several years, when he meets an actively Mormon woman who changes his perspective.

The Singles Ward was followed in 2007 by The Singles 2nd Ward.

Plot

After faithfully serving a full-time mission for the LDS Church and marrying, Jonathan Jordan finds himself divorced and once again a member of the LDS single adult world. He attends a "singles ward", a congregation specifically for unmarried adults where the ultimate goal is Eternal Marriage. Disenchanted, Jordan stops going to church. He even creates a standup routine lampooning the Mormon lifestyle. His resistance to the church continues until he falls for Cammie Giles, a member of the local singles ward. Suddenly, Jordan finds going to church more appealing. But is he attending church again just to impress her?

During the course of the movie, Jonathan frequently breaks the fourth wall to narrate events to the audience.
