    How We Chose

    We ranked these apps on how well they fit Christian singles first, then on our overall review score. Sites built only for Christians come first, because every member shares your faith. General apps come lower, even when they score higher overall, because faith is only one filter among many.

    Each score comes from our full review of that app. We rate six measures: safety, ease of use, features, value for money, user base and match quality. Prices are copied from our reviews and may change, so check the current price before you pay.

    Detailed Picks

    1. Christian Mingle: Best for the largest Christian community

    Christian Mingle has over 9 million registered members, all on a site built for Christian singles. You can filter by denomination, and faith-specific profile questions match people on devotion and practice, not just a shared label. The free version gives you 7 daily matches and lets you send Smiles, but you cannot start a conversation without paying. Parent company Spark Networks entered insolvency proceedings in January 2026, which we see as a risk to long-term viability and data security.

    Pick it if: your faith is central to your life, you are marriage-minded and you want denomination-specific matching.

    Skip it if: you live outside the US, where the user base is thinner, or the Spark Networks insolvency worries you.

    2. Christian Connection: Best for UK Christians

    Christian Connection is a UK-based site founded in 2000, which makes it one of the oldest faith-specific dating sites. It is independently owned, welcomes Christians of all denominations and is strongest in the UK, Ireland and Australia. Matching combines search, daily suggestions and Christian events, and 10% of profits go to charity.

    Pick it if: you live in the UK, Ireland or Australia and want a warm, community-led site.

    Skip it if: you are in the US, where Christian Mingle has a larger domestic pool.

    3. ChristianCafe: Best for trying before you pay

    ChristianCafe was founded in 1999 and is independently owned. Its 10-day free trial includes full messaging, so you can judge the site properly before spending anything. The community is smaller than Christian Mingle's but serious about faith, and the site has facilitated over 25,000 marriages. The design is dated, and there is no native app, only a mobile-friendly website.

    Pick it if: you want to test a Christian site with full messaging before paying, and you prefer browsing to swiping.

    Skip it if: you want a modern mobile app or the largest possible pool of matches.

    4. eHarmony: Best for deep compatibility matching

    eHarmony is not a Christian site, but our reviews point to its large Christian user segment. Its 32-dimension compatibility questionnaire is why we rate its match quality 9.5/10, and its gender ratio is roughly 50/50. Plans start from ~$19.14/month, there is no monthly option and the minimum term is 6 months. Its parent company's insolvency proceedings also create some uncertainty.

    Pick it if: marriage is your goal and you are happy to let a compatibility algorithm choose your matches.

    Skip it if: you are on a tight budget or want to search and browse profiles yourself, as eHarmony has no search function.

    5. Hinge: Best for a modern app experience

    Hinge is our highest-rated app overall, but it is a general app, not a Christian one. Our reviews suggest it for Christians who want a polished app with religion filters, though with less faith-specific filtering than Christian Mingle. 70% of its users are seeking commitment, and the free tier gives you 8 likes a day with unlimited messaging.

    Pick it if: you are 25 to 45, live in a city and want a modern, prompt-based app.

    Skip it if: you want a community where every member shares your faith, or you prefer to date on a computer, as Hinge has no web version.

    What to Look For in a Christian Dating App

    How deep the faith matching goes. A religion filter tells you someone's label. Christian Mingle goes further, with denomination filters and questions about how people practise their faith. If that matters to you, a dedicated site will serve you better than a general app.

    Where the members live. Christian Mingle's members are mostly American. Christian Connection is strongest in the UK, Ireland and Australia. Pick the site where your likely matches actually are.

    What you can do for free. Free access varies a lot. ChristianCafe's 10-day trial includes full messaging. Christian Mingle lets you browse and receive matches, but not start conversations. eHarmony's free version will not let you see photos or message freely. Hinge has a usable free tier.

    Who owns the site. Christian Mingle and eHarmony are tied to Spark Networks, which entered insolvency proceedings. Christian Connection and ChristianCafe are independently owned.

    Verification. None of these five makes ID checks compulsory. Christian Mingle has optional photo verification, ChristianCafe reviews profiles by hand, and eHarmony and Hinge offer photo verification.

    The length of the commitment. eHarmony has a 6-month minimum, and our review notes complaints about auto-renewal. Longer plans are often cheaper per month on ChristianCafe and Hinge, but check what you are signing up for before you pay.
