## What is Christian Dating?

HOLY (formerly United Young) is an app to meet people who love Jesus, made by married couple Kathleen & Jonathan.

The app lets you connect with an inspiring selection of Christians near you every day.

See someone you’re interested in? Wave at them. If they wave back, we will connect you both, and you can chat!

• Find a friend within the Christian community.
• Read why people say Jesus matters.
• Share your testimony and Bible inspiration.
• Find inspiration in the faith journey of people near you.
• Discover people in similar seasons of life.

Note: Christ-honoring dating is only available to those who are single and of age 18 and upward.

We welcome everyone who confesses Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and considers themselves a Christian (confessing the Nicene Creed) to join! We seek to connect the greater Christian community, and are united in our love for Jesus.

Whether you are Catholic, Nondenominational, Evangelical, Anglican, Baptist, Reformed, Orthodox, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Methodist, or are just at the beginning of your journey with Jesus, you are welcome to join our diverse community of believers!

This app was inspired by the call to unity (in Ephesians 4 & John 17) and the call to love and encourage one another (in Hebrews 10 & 1 Thessalonians 4). In addition, we were greatly inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book “Life Together”. Bonhoeffer beautifully describes how we can see Jesus more clearly in the lives and testimonies of our brothers and sisters.

### 1/5 — Does tinder own this?

*2026-08-22, version 10.7*

I never had much access to locals. But I would get these adds to download tinder plus. That It would automatically download your profile to make the set up easier. Makes me think feel very suspicious about this app. Definitely not worth paying for.

### 4/5 — Smooth App and wonderful idea

*2026-08-22, version 10.7*

I love the interface. It’s smooth and I love the scriptures in between scrolling that pop up. Very nice touch and very appropriate. I do however feel like despite your efforts  through the application process there are still fake and strange profiles being approved. I’m sure it’s impossible to weed them all out. 

Also, like the other apps I feel like I have to move to Connecticut or Maine to find a connection. Lol maybe it’s me 🤷🏻🤣

### 1/5 — Matthew 7: 1-2

*2026-08-20, version 10.7*

For a Christian dating app, there's there is something particularly amusing about waiting for a group of people to decide whether I'm worthy of entering the dating pool. I'm pretty sure "Thou shalt not judge thy neighbor's dating profile" didn't make the Ten Commandments, but perhaps it deserves an honorable mention. LOL

### 5/5 — Holy App

*2026-08-20, version 10.7*

This Christian App is Amazing, Never thought I would Truly Find A Really Good Christian App A Holy App, for Real. I can tell The Christians on This App is True Christians. So thankful For This App and thank God for the Inventors, God Bless you Both And God Bless This App.

### 5/5 — The real deal

*2026-08-19, version 10.7*

This is an app made by a Christian for Christians Dating and not by some mega corporation. I love the bible verses and the wave system to allow us to send a message with a like. The best part is after looking through your daily profiles it says, “you just saw 40 people made in Gods image” ❤️

### 5/5 — Best dating app for real people and connections!

*2026-08-18, version 10.7*

After months of trying all kinds of other dating apps I gave up. Getting zero responses or just texting with people that goes nowhere. This app has been different from day one. Try it.

### 5/5 — Loving the app

*2026-08-16, version 10.7*

I love this app as it matches me with like minded individuals and it encourages you with scripture.   Blessing to the creators!  This is exactly what we as believers need, a community online just for us!

### 1/5 — Stalked by man on here!!!!

*2026-08-15, version 10.7*

There was a man on here who portrayed himself as an Army Corporal. I reported it and asked for my money back and they said no because I had exchanged messages with him. I felt uneasy and scrolled through old photos and found a photo of him on my phone from 11/2021 and it is 8/2026! This is the scariest thing ever!

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-08-15, version 10.7*

Be careful with this app

### 5/5 — Great app with no bots

*2026-08-13, version 10.6*

I actually met an amazing girl less than 24 hours on this app God bless the dev team
