Relationship coach and lead pastor of David’s Christian Centre, Kingsley Okonkwo, has officially launched Mentor To Marry, a faith-based matchmaking and relationship preparation platform aimed at Christian singles seeking intentional, long-term marriages.
Announcing the initiative via social media, Okonkwo explained that the platform was established to address the growing commercialization of modern relationships and to help serious-minded singles find genuine partners. Co-founded alongside his wife, Mildred Okonkwo, the platform operates under Love, Dating and Marriage Ministries, a registered Nigerian non-profit organization.
Structure and Pricing
The platform offers tiered annual subscription packages alongside a complimentary community option:
Free Singles Community: Available for individuals seeking guidance without paid membership commitments.
Regular Plan (₦70,000/year): Includes eight weeks of foundational mentoring classes, assessments, surveys, limited profile access, an accountability framework, and five weekly chats.
Premium Plan (₦350,000/year): Encompasses the Regular package features, plus unlimited profile browsing, monthly recommendations, global profiles, private groups, priority coaching, and 10 weekly chats.
VIP Plan (₦700,000/year): Offers all Premium benefits alongside a dedicated matchmaker, private access to the founders, profile protection, off-platform introductions, and 15 weekly chats.
Unlike conventional dating apps focused on casual interactions, Mentor To Marry requires all participants to complete an eight-week prerequisite mentoring course before receiving profile recommendations. The curriculum focuses on emotional maturity, clarity, and personal accountability.
Eligibility and Guidelines
Target Demographic: Unmarried, divorced, or widowed Christians aged 25 and older.
Core Requirements: Verified marital status, commitment to Christian values, and adherence to strict conduct policies prohibiting exploitation, fraud, or inappropriate content.
