BigChurch.com combines the basic search functions of other Christian dating sites with a vast array of other special features. These features allow members to post items about themselves or the world around them for the benefit of other BigChurch members. To use just one of these features, join one of almost 2,000 groups, or start one of your own. The existing groups center on a variety of topics, with many arranged by region and specific interest groups. Members can start new groups about topics of their choosing in order to meet friends and potential matches that have the same interest similar as on adultfrinendfinder. For members wishing to combine the matching potential of the site with their own Bible study aims, there is a feature that allows members to choose to have a Bible verse sent to them by email to make Bible study easier. For members who want to express themselves and to let others know more about themselves and their lives, the blog feature allows members to start a blog and to update it often to let other members know about their interests and experiences. The blog posts made by members can lead to new friends or to new relationships.
The BigChurch online magazine is a unique feature that all members can contribute to in order to make the site a more personal experience. The completely interactive member magazine features informative articles, member-generated polls and to vote about the content of the features. Members can comment on the articles and manage the comments posted in response to their own articles. The magazine also has an advice area where members can sound off about any issue that affects them. Other members then vote about whether the advice is agreed with or not and can leave comment in response. The magazine, blogs, chat and groups make the site a one-stop online hangout that can be used to nurture new friendships and to learn about issues as well as finding the perfect Christian match. And, when the site successfully finds you a match, there is a form to fill out to allow the press to interview you and find out more about your success. With all of the singles available and the multitude of ways to find one that’s a good match for you, it seems pretty likely that a match can be made, so join BigChurch get ready to meet the press.
