Christian Union
Operated by Lumis Inspira Ltd (Company number 16321581)
Version 1.0
These are the rules everyone on Christian Union agrees to. They exist so that the space we share remains safe, respectful, and worthy of the people in it.
We have tried to be specific because vague rules protect no one. Many platforms publish guidelines broad enough to mean almost anything. We believe you deserve to know exactly where the lines are and why they exist. The examples throughout this document are illustrations. They do not form an exhaustive list. The spirit underneath every rule is what guides our decisions. Where conduct harms the community or the people in it, we will act whether or not the specific behaviour is listed here.
If you joined recently, you will have made a set of Commitments to yourself when you signed up. These Guidelines are the floor underneath those Commitments. They are what we ask of every person here, without exception.
These rules apply both inside the app and to your conduct off the app where it concerns other members of this community.
Christian Union is for single adults aged 21 and over who are seeking marriage. If you are under 21, married, or in a committed romantic relationship outside the app, please do not use Christian Union. If you are divorced, your divorce must be legally finalised before you join.
Every member of this community is someone's son or daughter, made in the image of God. The way we speak to and about each other should reflect that. There is no version of disagreement, attraction fading, or rejection that justifies cruelty, mockery, or contempt.
Your photos must be of you, recent, and your face must be clearly visible. Your age, name, intentions, and circumstances must be true. Misrepresenting yourself wastes the other person's time and breaks the trust this community depends on.
If someone has declined your request, ended a conversation, or asked for space, that is their answer. Sending another request, finding them on another platform, or pressing for a reason after they have said no is harassment.
Abusive language, insults, mockery, sexual messages, demands for explicit content, or any speech intended to demean is not allowed. This applies in messages, voice notes, and reports alike.
This includes explicit images, suggestive photos, requests for explicit content, sexually charged messages, and descriptions of sexual acts. Christian Union is built on the conviction that sexual intimacy is a gift given within the covenant of marriage. Sending or requesting sexual content here is not simply a rule violation. It is a betrayal of the community's purpose and of what God intends for how we treat one another.
Your photos should be the kind you would be happy for a parent, pastor, or future spouse to see. Anything beyond that does not belong here.
Pretending to be someone else, using someone else's photos, or creating a profile for someone other than yourself is not allowed. We reverse-image-search photos at random and act on every report.
You are welcome to exchange contact details when you feel ready to take a connection beyond the app. Applying pressure to share details or to leave the platform before someone is ready is not allowed. Many people find the app's protections valuable while they are still getting to know someone. Honour that.
Christian Union is for people seeking marriage. It is not a place to advertise a business, recruit for a church or ministry, sell anything, or promote external groups or causes. If you joined for any other reason, please leave.
No member of this community should ever ask you for money, gift cards, bank details, or to invest in anything. If anyone does, report them immediately and do not send anything. This is the single most common scam on dating platforms. We will act swiftly against any account doing this.
We are all here as people of faith. Our role is not to convert each other or correct each other's denominations. Share your own faith openly. Respect that others may be at a different place in their journey.
Every person here bears the image of God. We do not allow speech that demeans people because of their race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, denomination, or any other identity. Disagreement on matters of faith is welcome. Contempt is not.
Drug references for the purpose of arranging supply, violence or threats of violence, terrorism, child exploitation material, fraud, or any other criminal conduct is not allowed and will be reported to the relevant authorities.
You can report a member from their profile, from inside a conversation, or from your connections list. The report form asks you to choose a reason and write a short note about what happened. The moment you submit, the conversation is preserved as evidence and neither party can access it again.
If you cannot report inside the app because you have been blocked first, write to safety@christianunion.co.uk with as much detail as possible.
We will never share your identity with the person you reported, unless we are legally required to. We do not discuss any account's status with anyone other than its owner.
The reporting system protects this community. Submitting reports that are knowingly false, malicious, or designed to harass another member is itself a breach of these Guidelines and may result in action against your own account.
If a conversation has become uncomfortable, unsafe, or you simply no longer wish to engage, blocking immediately disconnects you from that person. They cannot see your profile, message you, or appear in your feed again. Use blocking when it is warranted. Do not use it as a substitute for honest communication where one is owed.
We aim to act with firm grace. For minor breaches, such as a comment that crossed a line, a photo that does not quite meet our standards, or a one-off lapse, you may receive a warning and an opportunity to correct the issue. For repeated or serious breaches, your account will be removed.
The following are examples of conduct that leads to immediate, permanent removal without prior warning. This list is not exhaustive. We reserve the right to remove any account where we judge that the safety, integrity, or spirit of this community has been harmed, whether or not the specific conduct is described here.
Removal is final. Removed users may not create new accounts. Doing so is itself a breach of these Guidelines and our Terms of Service. Any new account will be removed when discovered. When you are removed, your data is handled in line with our Privacy Policy.
If you believe your account was removed in error, you can write to safety@christianunion.co.uk from the email address associated with your account. Tell us what happened and why you believe the decision should be reconsidered. Our decision on appeal is final.
We do not reinstate accounts removed for sexual content, harassment of any kind, impersonation, hate speech, romance scams, or criminal conduct.
We have chosen to be specific in these Guidelines because we believe you deserve clarity. Many platforms keep their rules deliberately vague. We think that is unfair. If you are going to be held to a standard, you should know what it is and why it exists.
Rules alone are not enough. The heart of this community is simpler than any list:
Treat the people here as if they were your future spouse's brother or sister. Because they may well be someone's future spouse. To someone, they already are family.
That is the standard. The rules are what it looks like when we hold it.
