The Synchrony Process

No, The Synchrony Project is not an app and does not function like Christian Mingle or Plenty of Fish (which match individuals based on mathematical algorithms). We provide personalized introductions to like-minded Apostolic singles following in-depth surveying and interviews. Clients meet with a matchmaker 1:1 before meeting potential dating partners, and are introduced in a safe virtual call monitored by a member of our team. We select matches based on alignment with individual clients’ values, priorities, and preferences.

We believe that being of like faith is not the only criteria for building a healthy partnership. We work with Singles to identify their values–the passions, callings, and goals that guide what they devote their time and energy toward–and match them with other Singles who share or support those values. As part of our consultation, we discuss ministerial calling, parenting goals and preferences, location and relocation logistics, financial health, and specific holiness standards or convictions to inform the matches we select for each individual.

We serve any Apostolic believer over the age of 21 who has been unmarried for more than a year. Our clients range in age from 21 to 71 and older.

The Synchrony Project does not currently require clients to obtain pastoral consent as a prerequisite for matching; however, clients are routinely encouraged to discuss the matching process with their Pastor, and we welcome questions from Pastors and church leadership at [email protected] or via social media! In select cases we may reach out to Pastors (with permission from the client) to ensure that they are well-positioned to begin a new relationship; these requests are made on an ad hoc basis.

The Synchrony Project will not match clients who…

• Do not attend a truth-preaching Church, as defined by a belief in the Oneness of God, baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus, the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of tongues, and holiness in lifestyle as modeled in New Testament scripture.

• Disclose that they have not yet been baptized in Jesus’ name or that they have not yet been filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

• Disclose that they do not regularly attend church (at least weekly) or do not support the church with tithes and offerings.

• Have been divorced or widowed within the past 12 months before their consultation.

• Have been divorced more than three times while attending church and adhering to an Apostolic lifestyle.

• Disclose a current struggle with an addiction to substances, alcohol, or pornography.

• Disclose a history of committing abuse.

• Are seeking a relationship with someone of the same gender.

• Carry an amount of consumer (non-mortgage) debt significantly in excess of their annual income.

• Display other doctrinal, psychological, or financial indicators through their survey or consultation that indicate a lack of readiness to begin a courtship relationship.
