How does the Redeemers Connect Christian courtship platform work?
Redeemers Connect provides a safe, secure and trusted way to find and communicate with fellow Christian singles who are also in search of a life partner. As a courtship platform, Redeemers Connect is meant to support the efforts of brethren who are serious and ready to settle down in marriage with the right partner within 12 to 24 months after registering as a member. To connect, you choose a username (a screen name) and set up a profile describing yourself and the type of person and relationship you are looking for. You can view other people's profiles by searching the platform and, in turn, they can view your profile. When you find someone that interests you, you can send a message via the site to their username. The message is sent to their email address from your username - your real name and email address are never shown. In turn, you may receive messages from other members. These messages will be from their username and not their real email address, protecting both your and their privacy. When you are ready you may choose to tell the other member your real contact details. We recommend that you read our safety guidelines.
