RCCG parish launches dating site, says there’s no marriage in heaven

The City of David parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Victoria Island, Lagos, has launched a new dating website.
“There is no marriage in heaven!” declared the church on its official Facebook page, just days after the website went live. “We’re here to help you connect and, hopefully, meet your better half.”
A look at the website reveals that the dating platform connects adults in courtship and marriage.
Before being approved, prospective participants must register and have their information processed. However, participants are not required to pay any fees to use the platform.
According to the church, the platform’s goal is to connect people for courtship and marriage.

According to a statement on the dating site, users of the dating site were advised to conduct due diligence before connecting with other participants.
“The Redeemed Christian Church of God, City of David Parish makes no representations or warranties and expressly disclaims any and all liability concerning any damages sustained by any registrant as a result of connecting with anyone on this platform,” the disclaimer said.
The Parish Pastor, Idowu Iluyomade, said in a video posted to the platform’s Facebook page that people on the forum are of varying ages.
“We have from ages 20, 25 to 65,” Pastor Idowu said on social media.
The platform is already organizing virtual masterclasses for participants in which critical ingredients for a successful marriage are taught.
