I started talking with a guy on there. His user name was allinhilarity. That name should have been a clue but I give the benefit of the doubt. He was a racist and just wanted to talk about sex and try to get nudes. For any woman that reads this he will make you think he is a good guy but he is extremely racist and doesn't actually like women he just makes fun of them. Christian cafe of course will not care if you report him. I just hope an innocent woman doesn't get sucked into his games.

Stay away from.this scam.site!
I paid for a subscription and after two days they deleted me!
About 90% are fakes and scammers on Christian Cafe.
I hardly ever write reviews but I feel strongly writing about Christian Cafe so that people are warned NOT to join so they don't get scammed and lose their money and don't waste their time with CC.

I live in the lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada. There are about 5 or 6 men within 85 kilometers of me within my age range that are in Canada. I emailed the company to say that it wasn't worth it for the 5 or 6 men that I have reached out to and never responded/acknowledged that I sent them a note, but they insist that there are tons of men suitable for me on this app. I don't want to "date" a man in Haiti or France. Thanks very much. It's a waste of money if you're in BC Canada.
Then you have the forums which is no shortage of "Christians" laying out judgement about all sorts of people in different situations (ie divorce etc).
Tip for consumers:
There are not enough people in BC Canada that are signed up, to justify the cost of a membership.

While profiles can be a bit verbose, it's an easy site to navigate and view potential suitors. I wish for two options:
1) To not view those you've viewed before.
2) To not view those who haven't filled out their profile.
A possible third would be to not view those without a picture.
Just sayin'.

I tried this site out a couple years ago, hoping to find a young American Christian lady (I live in Ohio), but most of my results were from China, Africa and the Middle East. I'm not racist or anything, but why are there no American ladies on here?!

Even though attempts to meet a friend of faith, or interest to date like minded faith based believers
I find that there is very little interaction or response to my invitation to communicate.
Either people have a preference, based on distance, age or more.
I understand some members may be out of reach but really no interest or even replies? Or even block someone because they shown interest - that's shallow not spiritual!
That make me a bit skeptical about this. I don't think many are open to opportunities and are not serious or diligent in their search.

As there is no stated or discernible criteria for the match rating found on each profile pic, I believe it is actually counter-productive and even harmful if people use those ratings to judge prospective matches. For example, a lady termed "100% match!" had virtually nothing in common with me, and lived fourteen hours away in a different time zone.
EHarmony does it way better; they ask about seventy questions about your interests, lifestyles and attitudes, then compare your answers with prospective matches, with actual graphics so you literally see how well you line up.
Because I need to find a partner who walks with God as I do, or it simply won't work.

I've been here before with no messages or contact's. So I'm not sure this will be any different. But I'm giving God a chance to put the right person in front of me and my wants and needs. We'll see, if the same thing happens again I won't renew again.
Because I’m looking for a mature Christian Lady that understands that I’m not here for a hookup or games. I’ll pray y’all do the same please
If God hasn’t lead me to the right mate by then I’ll assume that he expects me to remain alone

It's getting tougher and tougher finding a love heart. Of course, some people do it offline somewhere in the cafes or bars, while I got used to use dating services. I chose this one because I liked the design of this company and the navigation on their website. It's much better than hyped tinder or something like that. I found here couple of interesting people who gained my attention and we started chatting. They were pretty cute and friendly when they communicated with me. I hope we will be able to meet one day and big thanks to this service as it connects people from various countries of our world.

Have not made a connection as yet but in God's hands. It's good reading through profiles (ones that are completed).
In some cases it seem easy for scammers to join too. Have come across a file same pictures & profile just a different profile name.
Did joined back in 1998 but not a paid membership
Give another go, if it doesn't work out it's meant to be.

Billing was easy and the price was appealing as compared with other similar sites. I like that once a contact is made the contact remains in your contact list until you actually delete them. I have been on another site where contacts will automatically disappear without any notice. I could never understand why this would happen, but it is frustrating, Christian Cafe is not like that and I really appreciate that.
Because it is a Christian site and has been mentioned as one of the top Christian dating sites.
I thought it would be a sufficient period of time to know if I liked this site or not.

Ever since my review, I have been getting creepy calls late night from people who insisted they spoke to me on whatsapp. I find it funny that it happened right after my review. The phone numbers are reflecting from a toll free number in the US. 855 and Michigan and Oregon. I will come back for an update after I speak to Christian Cafe themselves

I did get a free trial to check out this Christian dating site. As a Christian living in India, we are a minority and we tend to look for Christian sources outside India to turn to. This site was not just a site to find a partner but it was also to interact with other Christians. It started out great. I started out with writing on Forums, explaining my situation about living in India and finding Christians. I mentioned that God is in control and sought help and advice from other Christians and it was working out great until...
One fine day, I was stumbling on the Forums and found a lady in Africa with a similar situation like mine. I saw a mean reply comment on her Forum post saying, " Why can't you find people in your own country?"
I immediately went to her defence and posted, " I am in the same situation. We don't have enough Indians to date here."
I went around with my Forums, and few days later my Forum Post came under blast by "jtex406". He quoted my statement, " God is in control", and argued with it, saying, " God is not in control. You are in control". I told him if God is not control, who created Adam and Eve and if he was not in control, why did he banish Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden when they disobeyed him?
He then changed his tune saying God is in control and pushed an article link on me which was written by Christian people, but it wasn't Biblically based, but it was the views of other Christian leaders which I refused to read.
I called him out for bullying with the quoting and misquoting of my statement. He gathered all his White Christian friends against me on that post. I told them if this was their way of bullying a little Indian, let me remind you of how Goliath was slayed. I also requested not to show the article to me because I wanted some verses of the Bible.
I flagged his behaviour and wrote to Customer Service and they said he has a right to post it and sent me a link that he could do so. I sent them a screenshot of the post guidelines where he cannot debate someone's beliefs. That's what he was doing to me. Thinking back to the previous post about the African lady finding a foriegn man and how she was told to find men in her own town, I saw this as another way of attacking colored women and I addressed that. Instead of an apology, I got a defense statement."Watch your judgement". I told them it wasn't a judgement, it was feedback.

The app itself looks quite old. I also do not like that you can't hide yourself from certain users. I myself have had past troubles with a stalker and he ended up being on this site. I know I can block him from messaging me but since it was a pretty scary situation it feels unnerving knowing he can still see I am on this app.
Timely answer

I can't really give you a good rating at all. Not yet! I have installed all my information and pictures, but I have not been able to experience looking, reading and searching at how the dynamics of this singles site is set up. I have no idea. Only recommending to ask me or any other new customer this question after they have been on the site and tried it out for a week or two. Don't you think so? It's like you are asking after ordering a meal at a restaurant, how was the meal before it is even served. Correct?
Here about it through a friend on Facebook.
I just about signed for 1 year, but as I said I have not even tried the site yet. And also I had problems, not to long ago, with another site that I signed up with for 6 months. Tried it for a day or two, sent a few messages to other females, a couple of them replied. Then when I tried to open what they had said, a window popped open saying I now had to pay another $8.99 a month for the next 6 months. Not happy, as you can probably tell and I went to customer service asking for my full refund. After they said they could not do this. I said Ok, who is the name of the registered agent of the company? They said they did not know. I ask them to go to their mgr. And find out so my attorney could not start proceeding on a law suit because they had made no announcement of any other fees except for the first 6 months I had paid. I was put on hold and customer service came back and credited me for what I paid for their 6 month subscription. I was told by a Facebook friend that you had no other fees after paying for a subscription. So that is why I picked you.

This site pretends to highlight christian singles but I don't think any of the women on it are! They don't have any more character than non believing women! Also if you don't live in a city of 4 million or more there won't be anyone on this site from your area! This site is a joke!

Use another site this one is useless!

Being military, and always having to move, I never found it easy to find friends, much less a partner for life. Nevertheless, with CC, I found a beautiful young woman perfect for me in just three days... I can't wait to see where we go and what memories we make together! Thank you so much, Christian Cafe!
I chose ChritianCafe.com, because I am military, and it can be difficult with my job to find Godly women anywhere these days... I joined hoping I could find a young woman who was Christian and who would understand the demands of my job, and who I could trust to help me when we had problems that needed worked out. And I did, thanks to CC.
I am not sure I will be using CC for much longer, because of how quickly I found Isabella. I chose the six month for now, and will renew if and when I need to.

I appreciated Someone from your office calling me back as soon as they did and then walking me through the process. I would appreciate the online male searches to be specified or narrowed to the age range I chose 68-75. Also one cannot specify - only widowed men.
It’s a company run by Christians. Maybe narrows down to strong Christians rather than opening up to latter day Saints people

The prompts are a good place to share your background, but most importantly your faith story. It's challenging in other sites to know whether or not someone is truly a follower of Jesus or just nominally labels he/she as Christian. So far I haven't had any negative experiences with the members & everyone has been respectful. The only draw back is that not many people seem to be familiar with this platform in Kentucky where I live. Leaving mostly long distance options which is not ideal or my preference. Also, there are many inactive profiles or not even filled out. Don't know if there's an option to get those deactivated after a certain period of time.
Heard about it from a focus in the family podcast. Trust their programs & wanted a safer option to find a serious relationship that could lead to marriage

They only give you 10 days of free membership. And cut you off without warning as well if you dare to put in a suggestion to extend the trial over 10 days to maybe 3mths. I had been given free trial til feb 17. They cut me off feb 8 (after my suggestion on their forum). I had at least 3 men contacted me asking for phone number straight away (scammers). Not really any better than any other dating site. Just more cliquey. The forum people were very judgemental too. I was basically made to feel like a bad person by some members on there. Not very Christian at all it seems.
Tip for consumers:
DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS SITE! VERY JUDGEMENTAL AND NO HEART! WILL CUT YOU OFF THEIR WEBSITE FOR STUPID REASONS. I HAVE PROOF!

The site is good, there are so many good people to connect with, but unfortunately, most of them are far away and they are not willing to have a long distance relationship. Also, the people around me are not so many so it has been hard to connect with anyone. But it's a good experience... I've met and made good friends on site, but that is where it ends. So I am still believing God for a long term relationship that would soon lead to marriage
Because it's a Christian platform and because I am a born again Christian, I'd like to meet people of the same value system, which I think this site offers

Easy sign up. Flexibility to write personal responses without word count limitation. I live in a tri-state metropolitan area. I find it odd no local members are responding. All responses are out of state which I find VERY odd!

I just joined this site and had 10 free days on here. I wrote to over 100 girls on here and never got a single reply. I'm not a bad-looking mixed guy and don't have this problem on a foreign dating site or Ukrainian dating site. When I'm on foreign dating sites. It doesn't seem very hard to get a reply. White girls are so picky I can tell... Especially I can understand why so many Ukrainian girls take their American guys away from them. I would recommend finding a foreign woman over an American girl because the only thing American white girls can do is look down at a black man and always ignore. I was expecting women on this site to be more adult than on sites like Tinder, OkCupid, or Plenty of Fish but all these white girls on these sites are too childish compared to superior women like Ukrainian and Russian women. Russian women and Ukrainian women don't make conclusions based on skin color and stupid photos. After this experience on this site... I forget about American women and just go for a Ukrainian woman. Thank you.

I sent an email to customer service concerning my ability to search for my perspective criteria. I got no response.
2. Better Search criteria: When you select age, there should be a box to input the preferred age range.
3. "Race" or Ethnicity is important for some who want to date within or around there chosen cultural, ethnic, or racial group. This is the freedom of choice in dating and praying for a mate. When you select the race, ethnicity, or cultural criteria, the result of the selection should be the only results view for that particular instance.
3. Searches for the "exact" selective country.

I did some searches and contacted several women in my general vicinity and so-far after a few days, none of them responded.
Meanwhile, I've been receiving emails from women who are in another state or another country. I am not going to get involved in a long distance relationship.
Because I had the idea that ChristianCafe would give me the best opportunities to meet Christian ladies in my general vicinity. But so-far, that is not turning-out to be the case.

It happens so often that i am forced to write this review. It keeps on saying that site not available in your area but we have some great offer(which actually is to join some other website owned by them) they want that a member joins and pays for two sites owned by them and this happens most of the times i try to login. I didn't expect that from someone who runs a site with a Christian name. I wont ever be a member of this site again.

ChristianCafe.com is a leading online dating service that specializes in connecting Christian singles seeking for long-term relationships. Found in 1999, so it can be said to be one of the earlier Christian dating site exclusive for Christian daters. It is a Christian religious organization and ministry serving a Christian market, based on Biblical beliefs and teachings.
Christian singles visitors can connect with others as soon as they create a simple profile, after responding to several multiple-choice questions, as well as written questions. By creating a profile, the user receives a generous 10 day FREE trial period (7 days for joining, 3 more for posting photos), where they have the opportunity to participate at no cost to them for the full 10 days.
ChristianCafe.com concept came back in 1998 and in the winter of 1999 it was launched to the World Wide Web, as it was known at the time. At first it was created to connect local singles, but soon it became well known by Christian singles all over North America, UK, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and all around the globe.
The company has been under the same ownership (Christian brothers Samuel Moorcroft and Philip Moorcroft) till date and unlike most of the Christian dating websites out there, ChristianCafe.com has been always a private company, with its owners being Bible believing Christians, while the competition have been bankrupted or sold to non-Christians companies. So they’re truly Christians matching Christians.
Sorry for the trouble. We're not available in some regions, esp. Areas with high concentrations of scammers. When you see that message, there is a link to other websites. These aren't affiliated with us but are offered as a way for you to find someone on another dating website.
