Welcome to Church of God Singles!  We hope that you enjoy using the site and that you check back regularly to see new members. Below is a guide to help you use the system more effectively.

Searching - There are several criteria upon which you can search. These include the members age, city & state of residence, gender and whether the profile includes a photo. If you wish to find members of a particular Church group, click only that group in your search.  You can quickly move through the various options by pressing the '-' (dash) on your keyboard.  You can also sometimes check several options in a group.

If you wish to find an individual member, you may type their username directly into the 'Username' text box and click search.

Register - Registration is FREE. You need to register in order to place a profile as your registered name is what identifies you in the system and allows us to find your profile for you to edit through the 'My Information' option. Tip: Enter your e-mail address carefully as your password is automatically sent to this address. If you make a mistake, you will not receive your password.

Login - As a member, you may login either at the entry screen or at the bottom of the page in the footer. Tip: If you forget your username or password, you can have it resent by clicking on the 'resend password' link under the login box. Enter the e-mail address you registered with and we will send you the details you require.  PLEASE WRITE DOWN WHICH EMAIL YOU USED FOR THIS SITE!  

Add Profile - Profiles are necessary for anyone to find you. Please be sure to also include a recent photo of your face.  You can add other photos of the fish you caught or your dog but your main profile picture must be of YOU.  You can change or delete your profile at any time through the 'My Information' option. Tip: Try to keep the size of your photo smaller than 20k or you may have trouble uploading it (depending on your internet connection). Use an image editor such as Paint Shop Pro to reduce the size of your image by cutting out unnecessary 'white space' and compressing the image.

My Information - This section lets you delete or edit your profile or change your registration details (if for example you change your main e-mail address). You can also de-register from here and you will no longer receive e-mails from us telling you of updates. 

Photos - You can find, modify, upload new personal photos in 'My Media' at the top of the page.  Please do not post pictures with other people in them unless you have their permission to publish them.

Chat - The chatroom is for members to communicate on either a personal or community level  Click the chat room button on the left-hand menu and you will automatically be logged in using your username. Simply enter your message in the blue box and press "Send" to display your message to other users. If you prefer to communicate on a one-to-one basis, double-click the username in the list on the right to display a private chat window that can only be seen by you and the person you are communicating with.

Instant Messenger - The Instant messenger gives you a private chat facility for other members that are logged in to the Instant Messenger. When launched, it will display a list of members online. Select the member you wish to message by clicking their username. This action will display a message box for you to enter a message. Click an emoticon to enter at any point in your message and press send to message the user. Although you can communicate with several people simultaneously, only the member you are messaging will see your message.

Planning an event?  We are more than happy to announce any singles events you wish to plan.  You might want to find singles within a certain radius of your event which you can do through Search (You can specify 10-100 miles from a particular zip code)
