How it works
Purposeful matching, explained plainly.
No swiping and no guesswork. Here is exactly how Covenant Connect learns what you are looking for, who we introduce you to, and what happens once two hearts resonate.
Start your journey
A short conversational Match Spotlight walks you through your faith practice, life stage, location, relationship intent and what matters most in a partner. Your answers save as you go, so you can leave and pick up exactly where you stopped.
Build out your profile
Add photos, a short intro video and the details that make you you. A completeness meter shows what is left — profiles reach full visibility at 60% complete, and hitting 100% sends you a branded welcome pack by email.
Meet your curated matches
Every day we score the community against your Spotlight answers and surface the strongest fits first, each with the reasons the two of you line up.
Pray & Connect, then talk
Send a Pray & Connect request to anyone who resonates. Once it is accepted a private thread opens instantly in your Messages tab and the chat dock.
How matching works
Every answer you give in the Match Spotlight becomes a weighted signal. We compare your profile against every other member and produce a compatibility score. Only profiles that clear a 45% compatibility threshold enter your deck, and they arrive ranked strongest first with the specific reasons you fit.
Faith
Denomination, church involvement and how central faith is to daily life.
Intent
Where you are headed — courtship timeline, marriage readiness and openness to family.
Life stage
Age range, season of life, children, and career or ministry rhythm.
Location
City, country and how far you are willing to travel or relocate.
Preferences
The specific qualities you told us matter most in your Spotlight answers.
Activity
Profile completeness and recent activity, so you meet members who actually show up.
Matches
Your curated deck. Only members who clear the compatibility threshold appear here, refreshed daily and capped by your tier.
Browse Members
The full community directory, open to every tier. Search and view anyone — matching decides who we recommend, not who you are allowed to see.
Pray & Connect, then messaging
A Pray & Connect request is how you reach out. It tells someone you have prayed over the connection and would like to talk. When they accept, a private thread opens immediately — in your Messages tab and in the chat dock, wherever you are in the app. Silver members and above can message any member directly without waiting for an accepted request.

Questions
Is it really free to start?+
Yes. The Seeker tier is free forever — a complete profile, 5 curated matches and 5 Pray & Connect requests every day, plus full access to Love Stories, Daily Wisdom and community events.
How soon will I see matches?+
As soon as your Match Spotlight is complete. Your deck refreshes daily, so new members and updated profiles keep flowing in.
Why can I only see some matches?+
Each tier reveals a set number of matches and profile viewers per day. Everyone can browse and view every member profile — the limits apply to your curated deck and to who you can act on.
How do I get verified?+
Open Settings, submit your ID and a pastor reference, and our review team confirms it. Verified members appear in the Gold and Platinum pools and rank higher in decks.
Can I hide or pause my profile?+
Yes. Privacy controls in your dashboard let you limit visibility, and you can request full deletion whenever you like.
Can I cancel a paid plan?+
Any time. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you already paid for, then quietly returns to Seeker.
