There is nothing more frustrating than investing your time, energy and heart into a dating app or website, only to find out your matches aren’t who they say they are! At friendsfirst, we do the leg work so that you’ll only meet active, genuine Christians as members, so you can feel confident you’ll meet someone with the same Christian faith as you.

We talk to and vet all our members to ensure they have joined with the right intentions and have a living faith, and actively turn away those who don’t meet our criteria. You can also feel confident that you’re partnering with a believing, Christ-centred organisation built up of a team of caring, compassionate and committed people. We truly feel called into the work we do, which is rooted and founded in prayer. We believe every love story we help facilitate is a work of God’s hands!

You’ll always have someone to turn to as you move forward through your dating journey, whether you need advice, support, encouragement, or accountability. From setting up your profile with an authentic description and great pictures, to discerning which people could be a good match for you, to getting prepared as you go on dates… or something else entirely! We’ll always be available whenever you need to help you meet your soulmate.

If you’ve ever met up with someone in person, only to realise they aren’t who they claimed to be online, you’ll know how frustrating, demoralizing and time-wasting this can be! This is why we offer a verification service to ensure the accuracy of everyone of our member profiles – there are no scammers or number fillers, just real, authentic people. Through our optional Profile Writing Enhanced Service, our team can create a rounded, interesting and dynamic profile that perfectly represents you (and often times leads to more responses than if you were to craft your own!).

We also offer a professional photoshoot so your profile pictures are bang up to date and a lot better than the ones most people can take of themselves! These in-depth, personalised profiles allow you to learn about your dates (and vice versa) on a deeper level – from their passions, to their testimony and faith, and their goals in life.

If something is holding you back from sending (or replying to) that first contact from another member, we’re not afraid to give you a friendly push in the right direction. Or, if you’ve started a connection with someone only to find they’ve stopped replying, we’ll reach out and get to the bottom of it for you.

This is our commitment to help you avoid wasting time, or missing an opportunity for friendship or a potential relationship! It also ensures you feel protected and safe. On the rare chance that you have an issue with another member, our communication with all our members allows us to take action proactively to sort any issues out. You aren’t just an anonymous number in a database, but a real, cared-for member in our community who we want to ensure has a well-rounded, enjoyable dating experience.

Not only are we 100% committed to helping you find love, but we’ve created a community that fosters the same level of commitment too. You won’t find ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ members on our books, or people just looking to play the field for a quick hookup. Instead, you’ll be connected with real, genuine Christians just like you who are looking for a committed relationship that may lead to marriage.

When it comes to dating, you don’t know what you don’t know! But what if you could tap into an array of incredible resources, education and coaching to set you up for success even before the first date? As a member, you’ll get exclusive access to our world-class resource library, filled with powerful, curated dating advice from our team’s wealth of experience.

This includes a 1-on-1 coaching call with one of our dating professionals to help you start your membership journey strong. Whether you feel you need it or not, sometimes the smallest piece of advice or fresh perspective can make a huge difference.
