Answers to iChurch users' most common questions
How do I get started?
Spend some time filling out our
questionnaire and creating a profile. Upload your pictures and write a little bit about yourself. We will
review your profile and pictures, and within 48-72 hours, you will be all set
to go!
Can I change my profile settings once it is already up?
You can always edit your profile
simply by going to My Profile and making your changes. It will take us 24 to 72 hours to look over your edits
and upload them to our site. When we post your updated profile, you will receive an email letting you
know.
To go to My Profile and make
changes:
● Click Home on the left
side of the blue bar at the top of your screen
● Click My Profile from the
menu.
● Go to the Profile Interest
Navigator on the left side of your screen
● Click the topic where you
would like to make changes and make your changes
● Click Update
Can I search for matches?
No, at this time you cannot
search for matches. Because most of our members come to us looking for a strong relationship, we pride
ourselves on providing matches that we believe have the highest likelihood for success.
Is there any way that members could get my email information
without my giving it to them?
iChurch provides members with a
site specific email tool, Open Dialog. Open Dialog creates a unique means of online communication that
never reveals your personal email address. Disclosing personal information is entirely up to you and we do urge
you to exercise caution in making this decision.
Do you limit the amount of matches that I can receive?
No. We send matches based on the
number of candidates in our pool who mirror the priorities that you described in your iChurch
questionnaire. You receive a new match every time you take your first action on
a provided match. For example, if
you review your New Matches and send 1 st Questions to 2 matches and archive the 3 rd match,
iChurch will send you 3 more new matches within 24 hours. If you do not feel
like you are receiving enough matches and
would like to receive more, try extending the Distance You Are Willing to Go for Love.
What if I want to take a break?
Whether you started dating a
special match or have a lot going on in your life, sometimes we need a break.
You always have the option to
take a time out by .hiding. your profile. You will still receive matches, but
your profile will no longer appear in
others' new matches. Reverse your decision at any time by following the same steps.
To hide your profile:
● Click Home on the left
side of the blue bar at the top of your screen
● Click My Profile from the
menu.
● Click on the large blue
Profile Activation button
● Hide Profile
Can I change my matching preferences?
Of course. You can change all the
following information:
● Matches If you want to
receive matches or not
● Distance Your location as
the size of the geographic parameter you want to search
● Personal Priorities smoking
habits, drinking habits, if you have kids, feelings about Matches with children, feelings about
having or adopting children
● Desired Age Range
what is an ideal age
● Desired Religious the
denominations that you are willing to consider, is this a priority to you
● Your Education Level if
you finally finished your PhD, let your matches know

from the menu.

Navigator on the left side of your screen

● Click Update
What do I do if I know I am not interested in a match?
To remove a match from its
existing location at any point in the process, send it to the Archives. Send a goodbye message if you want or
just click on the orange Archive button, available at all communication stages. Sending a match to the
Archives, allows you keep your possible candidates organized so that you can focus on the matches that
most interest you. Likewise, we remove the match from our database of possible candidates.
Can I re-open a Connection that I Archived?
Yes, there are two courses of
action for restoring an archived match. First, if you wish to restore an
archived match that did not also
archive you, just go to Archives and click on restore. Second, if you wish to
restore an archived match that also archived
you, you need to send us an email specifically requesting to re-initiate communication with that match.
Include the match's name and city and we will contact them for you.
Provided that your match also
wants to resume communication, as soon as your match gives us the go ahead we will send you an email
notification.

match that also archived you:
● Click Help on the right
side of the top of your screen

What
makes a good iChurch photo?
Its best to submit a headshot,
a portrait style image of yourself including only your shoulders and face, for
your primary profile pic. To get a clear image and avoid shadow or blurriness,
go outside in full sunlight. Flatter yourself and wear something that makes
you feel attractive. Consider hiring a professional photographer to really
make yourself stand out. And because your pictures are really to showcase you,
all your posted images must have you in them! Please remember that iChurch
does not accept any lewd images and reserves the right to exercise our
discretion.
My
photo is not visible. What's up?
It takes us up to 72 hours to
review and post your photos. If after 72 hours, your image is still not up,
its most likely that the image is in excess of 4 MB. In any case that there is
technical difficulty of this sort with your photo, we will email you.
Why can only validated members see photos?
At iChurch, we pride ourselves on providing a unique service to our members who are looking for a successful
relationship with a strong foundation. For this reason, we hold back pictures from non validated to shift the
focus to the compatibility of members' central virtues. Moreover, we seek to differentiate ourselves from
other dating sites that allow members to scroll through photo catalogs.
Why should I post my photo?
Photos get people's attention. Both men and women are significantly more likely to notice a profile with a
friendly face. Go ahead and show everyone that you don't have anything to hide!

Advice for navigating the iChurch process
Any advice for navigating online communication?
The iChurch creators have dedicated a lot of energy to making this site as safe as possible for all members, but you should still practice a certain level of caution when meeting new people. Exercise the same caution that you would meeting an individual under
more traditional circumstances. Take advantage of our unique anonymous communication system until you
feel truly comfortable with someone, and do not rush to share your personal contact information. When in fact
you do share your personal information, do not hesitate to conduct your research. Run your match's
name through an internet search engine or solicit a background check from an online service before going
out together. Be mindful of any inconsistencies. In the event that you do to go on a date with your
match, meet in a public place and take your own transportation. Do not meet at your house or workplace
and arrange to check in with a friend following your outing. Be aware, be cautious and trust your
judgments. These simple acts help ensure you a positive dating experience!
Share any concerns you have with us at by sending a message to our Member Services.

Want to know more about our process, here is what we do
First, you will fill out a questionnaire about yourself, so that we get a good idea of your basic personality
type. Spend some time thinking about yourself and consider discussing a little bit about who you are with
your friends. The same questionnaire contains inquiries about your ideal match to provide us a good
indication of what you are looking for in a relationship. It will take you only about a half hour of your time.
Once we have received your information we send a library of suitors that coincide with the answers you
indicated on your questionnaire from our database of candidates. We send you a list of your matches!
At this point, you are free to scroll through the profiles of your matches, checking out all the romantic
possibilities that may lie ahead. You can chose now to see pictures and begin communication by simply
subscribing to our service. If you chose to move forward, the primary stage of communication, Hand Shakes
and Hellos, involves exchanging 4 multiple choice questions from a preset list of 50 with your match. Next,
you will exchange 3 Free Response Questions also selected from a preset list. The third step is Open
Dialog. Open Dialog is our site specific messaging tool that allows Matches to freely communicate while still
protecting their privacy. Once you achieve Open Dialog with a match, you can be confident that you share
similar values and priorities, the foundation of a strong relationship already in place!

How it works
With an initial charge of just $1.95, iChurch grants you 7 days to decide if you want to keep the SafeSite guarantee. After your 7-day free trial,
if you decide to keep the SafeSite guarantee, we'll conveniently grant you access to our Membership Advantages and bill your credit card just $39.99. iChurch makes it easy to maintain your Membership Advantages subscription. Every month we will effortlessly renew your Membership Advantages subscription policy for a repeat fee of $39.99 without any action of your own. Simply follow the instructions on our site to start meeting and chatting with Christians singles near you. Or simply contact Member Services at memberservices@ichurch.com or via the Contact Us tab on the iChurch website if you decide to resign your subscription at any time. You will be charged nothing more, and get to participate fully in the iChurch experience! You can also opt out of the SafeSite guarantee within 7 days to limit your total billable fee to only $1.95.
Every day hundreds of people just like you decide to join the iChurch community knowing the site is safe thanks to users like yourself. Knowing safety and concern is a priority for all, especially within the Christian faith, helps us to spread our service to all our potential members searching for God's love. If you decide to keep the SafeSite guarantee, about every five weeks you will continue meeting new singles by automatically renewing your iChurch subscription, allowing you uninterupted access to the iChurch community. Or simply call our Member Services and cancel or locate the Contact Us tab on our website. Everything is in your hands! But the best part is at no time are you under any obligation to purchase a subscription or service that you don't need.
Please note:
Offer not available in all areas. Where applicable, any bonus product is yours to keep. NOTICE: iChurch is not responsible for any third-party offers, incentives, or representations that may have been used to direct you to our site.

Want to know more about our process, here is what we do
First, you will fill out a questionnaire about yourself, so that we get a good idea of your basic personality
type. Spend some time thinking about yourself and consider discussing a little bit about who you are with
your friends. The same questionnaire contains inquiries about your ideal match to provide us a good
indication of what you are looking for in a relationship. It will take you only about a half hour of your time.
Once we have received your information we send a library of suitors that coincide with the answers you
indicated on your questionnaire from our database of candidates. We send you a list of your matches!
At this point, you are free to scroll through the profiles of your matches, checking out all the romantic
possibilities that may lie ahead. You can chose now to see pictures and begin communication by simply
subscribing to our service. If you chose to move forward, the primary stage of communication, Hand Shakes
and Hellos, involves exchanging 4 multiple choice questions from a preset list of 50 with your match. Next,
you will exchange 3 Free Response Questions also selected from a preset list. The third step is Open
Dialog. Open Dialog is our site specific messaging tool that allows Matches to freely communicate while still
protecting their privacy. Once you achieve Open Dialog with a match, you can be confident that you share
similar values and priorities, the foundation of a strong relationship already in place!
