Pros & Cons

Login Process

Registering has a relatively large number of steps that start from the homepage of www christian mingle com when you click 'Register Today'. You can either connect through your Facebook or Apple account or enter your email address and create a password. These become your Christian Mingle login details, which you'll later use to log into the site. This will take you to the basic information page, which requires your first and last names, gender, birth date, and zip code.

Next, you'll need to upload a photo of yourself. These photos get reviewed, and your first image must include your face. While it's great that they get reviewed because this avoids inappropriate photos and prevents people from hiding their identity, it means there's a delay of a few minutes to an hour for your photos to be visible to the rest of the users. You'll then choose to use your name or create a display name on the site.

Then, the site asks for some more basic information about you. This section includes your height, marital status, Christian denomination, and how regularly you attend church. There's also a spot for your occupation, which also needs to be reviewed before being made public. Finally, this page asks whether you have and want kids and for your education level.

This is followed by a space for you to write a summary about yourself and pick your interests from a given list. The list is reasonably extensive, including categories like food and drink, music, travel, arts and entertainment, and sports and fitness. This list will later be used to determine your match percentage with other folks on the site.

Finally, the last step is to indicate some features of your potential match. You'll indicate which gender you're interested in as well as an age and distance range from your location. There's also a section for advanced preferences where you can get more specific about things like how often they attend church, ethnicity, whether they want kids, their smoking and drinking habits, etc.

Finally, you're prompted to get a premium subscription. You can choose to do this or to skip this step for now. Finally, you can enter the site and start browsing. At a later stage, you'll simply head to the home page and use your ChristianMingle login details to re-enter the site.

Dating Features

Daily Matches

Every day, you'll get a new batch of ChristianMingle profiles that are a great match for you. It's nice to get a curated group of people to look through, especially if you're very busy and don't have time to search all the profiles.

Christian Mingle dating also shows you a match percentage, which tells you how much of your profile, interests, and preferences you have in common with the other person. The higher this percentage, the better the chances you'll get along. Some other Christian Mingle reviews indicate that the daily matches aren't very good because they don't try to optimize the match percentage but throw matches at you randomly.

Send Likes

On Christian Mingle, the way to express interest in fellow singles is by sending likes or a message. Sending a like or a smile is a wordless way to say hi and tell the other person that you're interested in them if you want to test the waters before starting a conversation.

You can see a list of the people you've liked but can't see the list of who's liked you unless you have a premium membership. You can't start liking other profiles unless you have a profile picture, which is a great safety feature.

Messages

The Christian Mingle website has a messaging platform where you can chat with other members of the site if you both have a premium membership. This kind of instant messaging is the best way to get to know someone before you feel comfortable exchanging your personally identifiable information. You can also exchange photos here, which is one of the best ways to get to know the person and verify that they're real.

The messaging tab also has a disclaimer when you first open it, asking you to promise never to send money or share financial information with anyone on the site. You also promise to report if anyone does ask for money. This is a great feature to prevent people from being scammed by unscrupulous people.

Christian Mingle Dating App

A mobile app is available so you can search for your perfect Godly love story even on the move. However, the app is poorly designed and very slow. The messaging feature, which is the most essential part so you can stay in contact with possible matches, is difficult to use because you can't see and correct your messages easily.

Some other ChristianMingle reviews refer to having trouble navigating the app, with error messages on most pages and being unable to open profiles. While a dating app is always a helpful feature, one that is impossible to use is disappointing.

Prices & Costs

On Christian Mingle, you can browse the site and like other user's profiles for free. But if you want to communicate, you'll need a premium membership. In addition to sending and receiving messages, the premium also has the following perks:

• Read receipts – see when people have read your messages.

• Anonymous browsing – doesn't let others know when you've viewed their profiles.

• Control your profile display settings – control whether people can see when you're online or not.

• See who has viewed and liked your profile.

• Access other member's photos.

Premium is available for either 1, 3, or 6 months. The premium Christian Mingle cost is:

 $49.99 for 1 month

$34.99 per month for 3-months

$24.99 per month for 6-months

Memberships will auto-renew for the same period, but you can disable this in your profile settings.

You can also purchase Spotlights, which pushes your profile to the top of the Browse results. Spotlights are available for:

1 day at $2.99

7 days at $6.99

30 days at $14.99

This is inexpensive but unlikely to make much of a difference to your experience.

How Safe Is ChristianMingle.com?

Report & Block Users

You can report and block someone who is bothering you or acting inappropriately. You can do this from their profile or within the chat platform. You'll need to give a reason for the report so the Christian Mingle customer service team can investigate the situation.

If they're found to have contravened the terms of use, their account may be terminated. In the meantime, you can also block them. This means they can no longer find, contact, or view your profile. This is a helpful way to keep yourself safe from scammers or anyone who becomes abusive.

Photo & Profile Moderation

When adding photos or any information to your profile, you'll need to wait until the moderation team checks it before it's made public. This is an extensive check, and if there are any issues with your profile, you won't be able to access the site. During moderation, they check to see that your photo has a person in it and that it's not a photo taken by someone else or one that has copyright or other issues.

So, while there is no way to verify your identity or photos independently, you can rest easy knowing that all profiles go through a Christian Mingle inspection and are approved by the moderation team. Scammers or people who plan on using someone else's photos will be unable to register due to that.

Great Privacy Policy & Terms Of Use

The Christian Mingle dating site's terms of use and privacy policy are among the best we've seen. All reasonable steps are taken to safeguard your information, and no alarming clauses or reasons exist to lift an eyebrow. If your personal information's safety is very important to you, rest easy knowing that Christian Mingle is doing all it can to keep your personally identifiable information safe.

Conclusion

Christian Mingle is one of a few Christian dating sites out there. It has a somewhat lengthy registration process to join the site, but the extensive profile moderation process is a comforting measure against scammers. The simplified design means there aren't many features, but the available features are easy to use.

The Daily Matches feature is a good idea but seems poorly implemented. ChristianMingle, nonetheless, is a very safe site to join, and the risk of catfish or scammers is low, which is a huge win. You cannot communicate with other members of the website without a premium membership, which is in the mid to high price range. Finally, while the users of the site seem to be real human beings, there are very few of them – most people were 'last seen' weeks or months ago.

For all these reasons, Christian Mingle gets a respectable 6/10. It's a good dating site, but with online dating, the most important thing is the possibility of meeting someone. Without people to meet, you can't become a Christian Mingle success story. This site simply lacks the membership numbers to make it truly great.
