How Connect works.
Three steps from application to community — built around real identity, shared faith, and genuine connection.
Apply
Request access and verify your identity
Connect is an invitation-based community. Submit your application and complete phone verification so we know you are a real person. Every member is confirmed before they can interact with anyone.
Build your profile
Share who you are and what you are looking for
Your profile reflects your faith, personality, and intentions. Choose whether you are here for intentional dating, friendship, church community, or all three. Add a biography, faith response, interests, and approved photos.
Connect
Meet people, join gatherings, find your community
Once approved, you can browse verified profiles, send connection requests, discover local gatherings, and find churches and groups that share your values. Every interaction happens within a community that holds the same standards.
Why verification matters
A community built on trust
Most platforms let anyone create an account in seconds. Connect requires real identity confirmation before any member can see or interact with others. This is not a barrier — it is the foundation that makes genuine connection possible.
Phone-confirmed identity
Every member confirms a real phone number. No anonymous accounts, no bots, no fake profiles.
Photo and profile review
Profile photos and biographies are reviewed before a member becomes visible to the community.
Community Standards
All members agree to biblical community standards. Violations are reviewed and enforced by the MAOZ team.
Dating eligibility rules
Access to dating features requires additional trust signals and eligibility confirmation — not just account creation.
Common questions
What people ask before joining
Is Connect free to join?
Applying and completing verification is free. Some features within the member app may require a subscription. Pricing details are available inside the application.
How long does approval take?
Most applications are reviewed within 24–48 hours. You will receive a notification once your profile is approved and you can begin connecting.
What denominations are welcome?
Connect welcomes Christians across denominations who hold to biblical values and are seeking genuine, faith-centred community.
Can I use Connect for friendship only — not dating?
Yes. You choose your connection modes during profile setup. You can select friendship and community without enabling dating features.
How is my location handled?
Connect uses approximate city or region for discovery — never your precise coordinates. Your exact address is never shared with other members.
What happens if someone violates the Community Standards?
Reports are reviewed by the MAOZ moderation team. Violations result in warnings, suspension, or permanent removal depending on severity.
