The senior pastor, The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), City of David Parish, Idowu Iluyomade, has revealed why the church set up a dating site for Christian singles. It will be recalled that in December 2021, the church had launched the online dating platform, Redeemers Connect (changed to ConnectNow).
Iluyomade said in a statement that the site is centered on “helping single Christians find life partners”. He noted that the church is experiencing inadequacy concerning proferring faith-based guidance and assistance in the process of finding the right partner for marriage. However, the pre-marriage counselling structure of the church is still standing.
He said, “There is a need to support them and prepare them to take this important step in their lives. The site is a Christian relationship and interactive platform for mature adults who are ready and hoping to get married.
"It is not a dating site as the world knows it, but a faith-driven interactive community of mature believers, who are connecting with one another with a view to building enduring and fruitful Christian relationships.
“This is a pre-finding marriage counselling session to prepare mature adults, who are ready for marriage for that journey of a lifetime. With the view that they make their choices in line with the fear of God and along with the dictates of our faith.”
Also, the cleric said the platform is for mature adults, widows and widowers who desire to get married.
