ChristianMingle Review January 2020

Overall, the registration is simple and straight to the point. ChristianMingle is well aware that they also have users who are in their 30s to 40s, so they may not be as tech-savvy as the teens are.

The registration process does not include a personality test, although fun gimmicks like quizzes are more appreciated by teens and young adults. The site is in tune with the needs and preferences of its target audience. It does away with personality quizzes and other games, focusing instead on straightforward answers to questions about commitment, religious beliefs, and family.

The website also offers an option for members to register using their Facebook accounts. That was, registration is done the moment you logged in using your social media account. To protect your security, restrict the access of ChristianMingle; do not let it post anything in your wall for example.

The site doesn't make use of fancy bells and whistles when it comes to their communication service. They have the normal chat function, and nothing else.

Messaging is hidden behind a paywall unless you're lucky enough to catch the eye of a premium user because they can send messages which can be read and replied to by free users. You get notified when you have new messages, either via email or browser notifications.

You can also message users through ChristianMingle's dating app, which will send phone notifications when you get a message. You can create a list made up of your favourite ChristianMingle users for easier communication. If a particular member is being offensive, you can add them to your blacklist.

Viewing profiles and full-sized photos at ChristianMingle are free features that can enable a seeker to gauge what the member is like in person. 

The profiles on ChristianMingle are relatively informative, so it is extremely possible to get a date.  Although the questions and fields are limited, they include what truly matters to people who are looking for lifetime partners. Unfortunately, not all members complete their profile to the fullest, as the process isn't mandatory.

While profile information is limited compared to other dating sites, their security is top-notch. Obvious fake profiles are suspended within a few minutes of their creation, which means that the team uses strict profile guidelines to ensure that only legitimate users who want to use the site to find their soulmate can actually use the site's services.

During the registration process, there are several fields with the words “Pending” on them, such as your profile picture, occupation, location, birthday and even biography. The team behind ChristianMingle checks the information and compares it to the user's IP address to confirm whether or not the information is valid. Profile pictures also undergo a reverse search to see if they're just pictures taken from search engines. Even if a fake profile goes through, members who interact with the fake user can always report them to customer service.

Since messaging other members is a paid feature, you might want to consider availing a ChristianMingle subscription so you can fully enjoy the site.

ChristianMingle offers two types of monthly subscriptions: Standard and Premium. Both plans cover 1, 3, and 6 months. Some of the functionalities you can enjoy while subscribed to a Standard Plan are the messaging and stealth mode features. The Premium Plan lets you access all of the dating site's features so you can freely enjoy your time using it.

An auto-renewal function is available to make sure you can access the dating platform's service continuously. To end your subscription, cancelling this function should be your first step.
