Christian Connection was launched in the United Kingdom in 2000 and became very popular thanks to some early positive media coverage on TV and in print. By 2012 Christian Connection had expanded and now serves the United States, Canada, Australia, and other English speaking countries. In the past few years Christian Connection has won numerous independent awards including those for best overall niche dating service and ones for customer service as well.

Christian Connection came about to help people of the Christian faith who find it a struggle to meet other eligible Christians. For those in small churches it is especially hard sometimes to meet other single people, even large churches can be a challenge if there are no single groups to help with introductions. The opportunities of getting to meet Christians from other denominations, or even just different churches, can be few and far between.

A matchmaking service like Christian Connection gives singles a opportunity to meet Christians near and far and from all denominations. It leaves less to chance and brings everybody more choice. Through carefully designed profile questions, people on Christian Connection can form a much more realistic impression of their matches and of whether they might be compatible. The information provide also gives each person a basis for really getting to know each other, even before they actually meet in real life.

Christians come with a broad range of ways to worship and express beliefs. Even those among the same denomination can express their beliefs differently. At Christian Connection they welcome all Trinitarian Christians. Christians who accept the Trinity, believe God is three eternal persons which includes God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Spirit. Christians from the following denominations follow the Trinity (not a complete list):

Anglican	Catholic	Baptist
United Reformed	Anabaptist	Methodist
Orthodox	Pentecostal	Evangelical
Lutheran	Quaker	Seventh-day Adventist

Above all Christian Connection believes in respecting other people’s choices. If you are not comfortable meeting people to date of a denomination different from yours, you can specify this in your profile and target only certain denominations in your searching. The important thing at Christian Connection for members when they join is, realizing that everyone's faith is important to them.

Members can also participate in the Discussion Boards. Members can post topics in 3 different categories including "The Big Issues", "Lighter Notes", and "Culture Vulture". Topics can be replied to and members can "Like" other members posts or report them if the content does not meet the user guidelines.

You can filter these results by newest members, recently online, and closest. From the search results you can visit their profile, hide the profile from the search results, and send them a message.

Christian Connection does not offer any automated matching, members must perform their own searches.

Privacy is an important part of Christian Connection. From the "Profile & Settings" page you can set your privacy on a number of different things. This includes:
