The story
Why I'm making this
I've spent years on 20+ dating apps, hoping the next would be different. It never was — endless swiping, profiles that may or may not be real, and almost no one who understood that my faith isn't a hobby but the center of everything.
I want to meet someone who shares an orthodox Protestant faith — Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, and the like — and to truly know their faith and values, not guess from a one-line bio. Meeting people like that nearby keeps getting harder, so I'm building this open across cities and borders, too.
And I want us to feel safe. Dating apps have become a paradise for scammers and fake profiles. No app is perfect — but here, safety is the foundation: real verification, human care, a community built carefully, together.
That's the whole idea. If it resonates, get on the list — I'd love to build this with you.
