Christian dating sites can help older adults find romantic matches with similar beliefs and values. In addition to the unique bond a shared faith generates, many Christian dating services offer a variety of faith-specific features, such as daily Bible verses, faith-focused community forums, in-app sermons, and articles that provide Christ-centered dating advice.
Here are our picks for the best Christian dating sites for seniors.

Membership | Monthly cost |
---|---|
1 month | $39.97 |
3 months | $59.97* ($19.99 per month) |
6 months | $99.97* ($16.67 per month) |
12 months | $119.97* ($9.99 per month) |
*Payment is collected in one lump sum as opposed to monthly payments.
Christian Cafe is an online dating site exclusive to Christian singles with over 2 million members in over 10 countries. The service is one of the best options for people whose faith is a priority in their relationships. Christian Cafe is also one of the most affordable dating sites for Christians, costing only $9.99 per month for a 12-month membership.
Christian Cafe’s software analyzes your profile and first questionnaire to locate commonalities with other members, such as preferred relationship type, level of Christian faith, and location. Advanced search and stored searches help you identify suitable companions who fit more specific parameters, such as denomination, region, appearance, background, and lifestyle. Profile development unfortunately does not emphasize shared hobbies, politics, and other compatibility variables.
Christian Cafe has two noteworthy drawbacks. First, it has only 2 million members, which is minuscule compared to Match or Eharmony’s 50 to 100 million. Also 60 percent of users are between the ages of 25 and 44, notably younger than the senior population. Long-distance daters or those who prefer younger partners may view these downsides as more appealing.
Did You Know: There are assisted living communities specifically for Christians. To learn more, read our guide to Christian assisted living.

Exclusive to individuals over 50 yet open to all faith backgrounds, SilverSingles is a terrific option for seniors looking for long-term relationships with a partner who has similar religious views.
SilverSingles has U.S., Canadian, U.K., Australian, French, and German members. After joining, you take a personality and interest exam that identifies your character, hobbies, religious orientation, ambitions, values, and ideal relationship traits. The extensive questionnaire and registration process may seem overwhelming, but answering the personality test can enhance your matches and assist others who are performing searches in understanding who you are and what you want.
Paid membership to SilverSingles is somewhat pricey for a three-month subscription, but it becomes far more budget-friendly when you select a six- or 12-month membership. SilverSingles offers a $99 profile-writing service for seniors who have been out of the dating scene for a while.
Membership | Cost |
---|---|
1 month | $49.99 |
3 months | $104.97 ($34.99 per month) |
6 months | $149.94 ($24.99 per month) |

With 71 percent of members claiming they attend church weekly, it’s clear Christian Mingle is a dating site where most singles take their faith at least somewhat seriously. Given the seriousness with which members approach their faith and dating on Christian Mingle, it is an ideal site for seniors who rank faith as a top priority in a relationship and date with the intent to find someone to marry.
The popular website and mobile app is specific to Christians, but members’ ages range from 18 to over 85. Despite the wide age range, many seniors value Christian Mingle’s ease of use and large dating pool, which is approximately 3.75 million individuals over 50. More than half of members are over age 36. At $24.99 per month for a six-month membership, Christian Mingle costs slightly more than the average dating site, but the niche community it offers leaves many members willing to pay a few dollars per month extra.
Christian Mingle, in contrast to many sites on this list, does not request much personal information from its members. Even with matching technology, the limited information isn’t as likely to produce quality matches as sites that gather detailed personality, interests, and background information.
Membership | Cost |
---|---|
General | Free |
1 month | $23.99 |
3 months | $38.70* ($12.90 per month) |
6 months | $51* ($8.50 per month) |
*Billed as one payment
Christian Dating for Free (CDFF) is rather straightforward about what it offers: an entirely Christian membership where all features necessary for viewing and communicating with potential matches are free. The site needs to make an income somehow, so users must be comfortable with the abundance of ads throughout the site.
Priced at $8.50 per month for a six-month membership, CDFF is the most budget-friendly service on our list. The website is simple and its iOS, Android, and Windows apps don’t require significant technical skills, so CDFF is a smart choice for any older adults who aren’t tech savvy.
You can communicate with as many members on CDFF as you want for free, but the site offers paid memberships that provide extra perks such as more profile images, removal of ads, and increased message storage.
Membership type | Membership length | Cost |
---|---|---|
Standard Plan | 3 months | $74.97 ($24.99 per month) |
Standard Plan | 6 months | $95.94 ($15.99 per month) |
Standard Plan | 12 months | $143.88 ($11.99 per month) |
Premium Plan | 3 months | $80.97 ($26.99 per month) |
Premium Plan | 6 months | $107.94 ($17.99 per month) |
Premium Plan | 12 months | $167.88 ($13.99 per month) |
Match.com is not specific to older adults or Christians, but it uses its intro questionnaire to gather information related to religious preferences, allowing users to filter matches accordingly. In addition to standard matches, or Mutual Matches, which typically exceed 80 percent compatibility, Match.com users can find other potential partners through basic and advanced searches and reverse match, which generates matches looking for someone just like you.
Match offers several tiers of membership: free, standard, and premium. Free members can post a photo, search for profiles and send likes, but a standard paid membership is needed to view or send messages, see who has liked or viewed your profile, send Super Likes, gain priority access to Match Events, and remove matches from view. Premium members pay extra, but they also receive a monthly profile boost and read receipts for messages in addition to the standard membership features.
Match.com has more members interested in casual encounters than most of the other sites listed here, but you can also find believers who are very serious about their faith and solely interested in Christ-centered long-term relationships.
Membership | Cost |

Basic | Free |
Premium: 6 months | $419.40* ($69.90 per month) |
Premium: 12 months | $550.80* ($45.90 per month) |
Premium: 24 months | $861.60* ($35.90 per month) |
*Billed as one lump sum or split into four payments
At $45.90 per month for a 12-month membership, Eharmony is one of the most expensive dating sites frequented by Christians. It also does not have a one- or three-month membership option. Nevertheless, Eharmony is well known for its success with matches and has produced over 600,000 marriages. The online dating behemoth also makes its higher cost easier to meet by allowing you to split your membership cost into four payments.
Eharmony originated as a Christian site, but it has since opened its door to all religions. It continues to use its renowned compatibility quiz and personality assessment that have a strong reputation for successful matches. Since Eharmony is so confident in its assessments, however, there’s no option to search the member database. You must select those you message based on the matches Eharmony sends you.
Eharmony is also known for its effectiveness at minimizing the scammers who plague online dating sites. It verifies profiles like many other dating sites, and the company runs every member against the sex offender database to be safe.
Since most of these dating sites offer a free version, there’s no harm in trying them out and deciding to pay later. To learn more about our favorite approaches to dating, check out our guide to senior dating.
