Nice

BigChurch is a specialized Christian dating site, and the biggest one of them all at that. It is run by the FriendFinder Networks, same guys that the biggest adult dating site, AdultFriendFinder belongs to. Personally I view this as a positive thing since you know you can expect good results and helpful support from this website.

As mentioned above, BigChurch is by far the biggest Christian adult dating site online, boasting over 430 thousand members and counting. The purpose of this site is of course meeting men and women of your own faith. Being a Christian myself, I can appreciate the opportunity to meet girls with similar religious views.

The registration to BigChurch is fairly easy and simple. As usual you enter your sex, who you’re interested in meeting, your nickname and the like. The unique thing about BigChurch is that you also can choose your relationship with God (ranging from “He is my life, my reason for being” to “I don’t believe in God right now”) and your denomination of Christianity, such as Catholic, Anglican, Baptist and many more. I suppose it would be interesting to get together with a girl who goes to the same church as you do, and this site can help you just that. You can also search for dating or just a pen pal or a Bible study partner.

After you finish the registration process and login with the randomly generated password that will be sent to your e-mail, you will be prompted to upgrade to one of the premium memberships at BigChurch. Silver membership is $19.94 per month, or $33.94 for three months (definitely a better deal). Gold membership is slightly more expensive at $29.94 / mo, or $59.94 if you pay for 3 months in advance. It should be noted that unlike many other sites, BigChurch accepts PayPal, which is definitely a plus since it’s safer and easier to use than entering your credit card number.

Naturally, there’s a free (Standard) membership as well, so you can explore the website a bit before deciding whether it’s worth upgrading or not. Just keep in mind that it’s rather limited; still, you will be able to fill out your profile, and respond to e-mails from upgraded members (but not send one yourself first).

The silver membership removes the limitations of the Standard membership and allows you to freely view and contact members, access their video greetings and get 24/7 phone support, should you need any help. Your profile will show up just after Gold members in searches. Gold membership is a further improvement: you will get top search placements (meaning you get maximum exposure, greatly increasing your chances to meet people), full access to blogs, groups and magazine features and viewing of extra large photos of the members.

Besides these premium membership options, you can also buy separate upgrades like highlighting of your listing in all search results and e-mails, or allowing Standard members to contact you freely. To be perfectly honest, while highlighting is sure to get more attention for your profile, paying for the ability to be contacted by Standard members first doesn’t seem like such a good deal. It’s a given that Silver and Gold members will have far less fake profiles and will be more serious about meeting fellow Christians than someone who just registered and didn’t bother upgrading.

Now let’s talk about the site features a little bit. Like others, it has a detailed member search, although only upgraded members will be able to use it to its fullest. A unique feature is searching members by their favorite Bible verses. Members are also encouraged to upload a video intro, so you can watch pretty ladies introduce themselves and decide if you want to contact them. Big Church also features member blogs, groups and forums and a text chat. It also has a cool member-written magazine with articles, polls and advice (and you can write for it too). Overall it definitely pays to have a premium membership, since as a free member you won’t be able to use most of these cool features. However, you can still read and post in forums without upgrading, and get the general feeling of the community.

To conclude, BigChurch is probably one of the best Christian dating sites around. If you’re a Christian man or woman looking for a partner from your own faith, this personal singles site can help you do that.
