The Membership Journey
A Christ-centered relationship and marriage ministry — uniting evangelical believers, their pastors, and their churches in a safe, accountable path toward God-honoring marriage.
Step by Step
Every journey begins with a membership application, which includes the contact information of the applicant’s pastor or church leader and the password the applicant will use to sign in. A pastoral recommendation request is sent to the church automatically, ensuring the local church is involved from the very first step.
The account is created as the application is submitted, so the applicant becomes an Associate Member immediately — no waiting for an approval email. After activating the monthly subscription and accepting the community rules and disclosure policy, the member may enter the Vetted Area under limited access.
With limited access you may create your detailed vetted profile, upload up to six photographs, and take part in Community Chat and the educational resources. One-to-one features — chat invitations, private messaging, and video meetings — stay closed until your background review is complete, though you may always reach your care team.
Members complete a comprehensive background screening through Protect My Ministry — the Full Court with Social Media Pro Package, which includes national criminal, sex-offender registry, SSN and address-history, seven-year county and federal court searches, and social media screening. The applicant pays a one-time, all-inclusive fee of $80 directly to the screening provider; it is separate from the monthly membership subscription, and Covenant Connections adds no fee of its own. This step strengthens safety, accountability, and trust across the entire community, and it is what lifts an account from limited to full access.
Once the background screening is successful and the pastoral recommendation is on file, the member becomes a Verified Member with full access to the Vetted Area — including Exploratory and Covenant Chat, private messaging, video meetings, matchmaker assistance, disclosure meetings, and other member privileges. Access unlocks automatically.
As relationships develop, our team offers premarital counseling, accountability, and pastoral guidance — preparing members for a future marriage convention that honors Christ and strengthens His Church.

Covenant Connections is a faith-based relationship and marriage initiative designed exclusively for evangelical Christians who desire to pursue marriage according to biblical principles. The Bible teaches that believers should marry fellow believers and maintain purity throughout the relationship process. Yet many sincere Christian men and women find it difficult to meet compatible individuals who share their faith, values, and commitment to Christ. As churches have become increasingly scattered across cities, states, and nations, many faithful believers remain single not because they lack the desire to marry, but because they have limited opportunities to meet suitable Christian partners. Covenant Connections was created to help address this challenge. Our mission is to provide a safe, accountable, church-centered environment where evangelical Christians can meet, build friendships, receive guidance, and — when God wills — develop relationships that may lead to marriage. Our goal is not simply to help people meet. Our goal is to help believers honor Christ while seeking a lifelong marriage partner.
