Maybe you are called to develop a matchmaking ministry or life coach matchmaking practice. There are new opportunities to build matchmaking centers.

Matchmaker ministers do not arrange marriages. We serve Christian singles as a licensed or ordained minister and confidential coach on their journey to find their Christian spouse. See about page

Christians have often found their spouse attending their local churches, schools, and Christian colleges. The website Single Friendly Church wrote,

Many single Christians hope to find love with someone who shares their faith. But it’s rare these days for people to meet their future husband or wife in church.

Other traditional ways of meeting partners, such as through work, college, family or neighbours have also declined sharply. In today’s digital age, dating websites are booming and now nearly a third of new relationships start online.

There is no doubt that online options are here to stay. There is a role for Matchmaker ministers to assist those choosing:

  • Online options
  • Offline options
  • Blended Online and Offline options

What could the Matchmaker Minister role look like?

The matchmaker minister would provide a ministry focus to the courtship process.

Christian Leaders Alliance, partnering with Christian Leaders Institute, has created a Matchmaker Minister Program that requires different levels of study and recommendations. This study program offers those called into Matchmaking Ministry more confidence, competence, and credibility.
