Christian Mingle, which debuted in 2001, is a top online dating platform for Christian singles. As of October 2022, the service has more than 15 million subscribers, with 71% describing themselves as regular churchgoers, according to a survey by the app's owner, Spark Networks (via Forbes). Another survey found that Christian Mingle contributed to 29% of Christian marriages. "Christian Mingle is a great option for singles seeking a faith-based relationship," CEO Eric Eichmann told Forbes. "Christian Mingle attracts singles seeking a deeper, meaningful connection through a shared faith and shared values."
The service, available as an app for iOS and Android, has enhanced safety features, including fully vetted profiles and appropriate action taken in cases of fraud and harassment. Customer service is also top-notch, with a detailed support page and a simple online form to submit.
To get started, users fill out a profile, though it doesn't have to be complete (only religious denomination and education level are initially required). Other questions focus on appearance, lifestyle, interests, church activity, and more, with space provided for the user to write about themselves and what they want in a partner.
Christian Mingle offers unpaid and paid memberships, which are a bit steep, starting at $49.99 a month. For free, you can set preferred search criteria, view profiles, sort matches, send "likes," and access daily two-way matchmaking — but you have to pay to view and send messages. Paid subscriptions also include the ability to hide your profile and browse privately.
