WeLove helps Christians meet with marriage in mind. Information shown by another member may be inaccurate. No code, document or photo check guarantees identity or conduct. These tips can help reduce risk but cannot guarantee safety. Please read them before you start, and come back to them before you meet anyone in person.
What WeLove does and does not do
- We do not conduct criminal background screening of members.
- Church verification is not yet offered in the United States. When it is, a church-code badge means a valid associated code was accepted; a document badge means staff reviewed a submitted document under stated criteria. Neither independently establishes identity, current membership, a church's endorsement or safety.
- Phone verification shows the member can access a phone number. Face verification checks that the person taking the selfie matches the profile photos. Neither confirms a legal name, background or intentions.
- We do not routinely scan private messages. Staff may review relevant messages for reports, support or lawful safety/legal investigations.
Before you message
- Keep your details to yourself. Do not put your phone number, email, home or work address, workplace name or social-media handles in your profile. Do not put identifying details in initial messages. Share them only when you are ready, and only with the person you are sharing them with.
- Church information can identify you. If you choose to display your church, people from that church may see you here. If you would rather not be shown to a particular person, use Block.
- Use the app to talk. Someone who pushes to move to another app, text or email within the first few messages is showing you a pattern. Stay on WeLove until you are comfortable.
Money — the rule with no exceptions
- Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency or financial help to anyone you met on WeLove, for any reason — an emergency, a ticket to visit you, a ministry, an investment, a customs fee.
- Never share bank details, card numbers, passwords or one-time codes.
- Be wary of anyone whose story involves being overseas, in the military, on an oil rig, or in a crisis that only money can solve; who professes love very quickly; who will not video-call; or who invites you to invest in anything, including "Christian" investments.
- If anyone asks you for money, report them. That is the most useful thing you can do for the people who will match with them after you.
Before you meet
- Consider a video call first. It may help you assess consistency with a profile, but impersonation is possible and a call does not verify identity, background or safety.
- Look them up. Their name, their church, their workplace. What they told you should match what you find.
