Can I use Christians Online to make new friends, even though I am not single?
Christians Online is for everyone. Although many of the Christian Friends members are single, there are also quite a few who are not and simply looking to make some Christian friends. We suggest that when you do your profile, you make mention in your description that you are happily married (or in a relationship) and looking to find some new Christian friends, regardless of gender. This way people searching know what you are looking for ie: not a relationship but a friendship.
How do I contact other members?
Go to www.christiansonline.com.au and log in using your Log In and Password. Go to the profile of the person you wish to contact and click the 'Contact Me' button. Write your message and hit send - it's that easy! This is exactly the same as writing an email to a friend, where you can write what you want.
Please Note: To communicate with other members you must be registered and have an active profile on our site. There are no individual charges for contacting members, instead you pay a monthly, quarterly or yearly subscription for unlimited access.
How do I know if the person I have contacted has received my message?
When you send a message, 99% of the time your message will be sent successfully. However, if your message does not get through successfully, you will receive a message from Christians Online notifying you that your message was undeliverable. Messages that are not processed successfully are usually due to an incorrect email address entered when the profile you are contacting has been setup. We suggest you try once more, and if it doesn't go through again, try contacting someone else.
How do I know if I have a message from someone?
You will receive a message from Christians Online to your email address. The message will state that you have a message waiting and there will be a button to click on to retrieve your message. Alternatively you can view your inbox/outbox by simply logging into your Christians Online account with your username and password.
Please Note: Messages are sent via our secure and anonymous email exchange. There are no charges for sending an email.
Where do I purchase a membership?
Go to www.christiansonline.com.au and log in using your Log In and Password. Click on 'My Page' located under the top navigation bar. Click "Account Details" then "Purchase Membership" and select which membership package you would like to purchase. Follow the prompts, selecting the package you wish to purchase and enter your payment details. Once your payment is processed your membership is automatically assigned to your Log In Account and you can start contacting people.
How much are memberships?

pen pal through to the keen Christian romantic. Unlike other messaging
systems on the internet, we allow unlimited messages and full access to
the sites features once membership is paid.
