CrossPaths is a free, swipe-based Christian dating app from Spark Networks that lets you match, chat with mutual matches, and filter by denomination at no cost. Its light faith framing suits casual browsing more than deep, marriage-first vetting.
Our verdict
CrossPaths brings a familiar swipe-based format to Christian dating, and its biggest draw is that the essentials are free. Also operated by Spark Networks, it lets you like or pass on profiles, chat with mutual matches at no cost, and filter by denomination, all without opening your wallet. A 4.0-star App Store rating from around 1,900 reviews reflects a workable, if unremarkable, experience.
The faith framing is lighter than on curated or subscription-first apps: denomination is a filter rather than the center of gravity, so intentions across the base range from marriage-minded to casual. Some reviewers note inactive or aging profiles and the usual nudges toward the First Class subscription, which starts around $10 per month and unlocks boosts, read receipts, super likes, and a location passport. It is a solid free option rather than a standout.
If you want to try faith-adjacent dating without paying and are comfortable doing your own filtering for seriousness, CrossPaths is an easy, low-commitment place to start. Christians who want deeper faith vetting or a more intentional, marriage-first community will likely prefer a curated or subscription app.
