Christiancafe.com Features:
Finding members of Christian Cafe to contact is easy, and there are six different ways to go about it:
  1. Quickmatch tool automatically matches you with someone based on your similar ages, locations, Christian faiths and type of relationship you're both looking for, then you send them mail.
  2. Search - the search facility can be as general or detailed as you like, and you can save the results of up to 5 searches and choose members to send mail to.
  3. Find out who's online and send them an instant message.
  4. Check out the hundreds of new members joining each week on the new members page and send them mail.
  5. Join other members in live chat rooms (only available to paying members).
  6. Search for a specific person's profile and send them mail.
The mail tool of Christian Cafe works very much like a simple online email account, and is easy to use.

Other features of Christian Cafe include:
  • Who's online tool - see everyone online, or just male or female members online, or everyone in your region who's online, or male or female in your region online.
  • Birthday list - see whose birthday it is today, and send them a birthday greeting - and expect to get a few yourself when it's your turn!
  • See who's viewed your profile.
  • Post and view photos.
  • Chat room.
  • Create a friends list and keep track of those members you want to talk to again, and see whether they're online or not.
  • Post prayers on the prayers message board.
  • Tips section including advice on how to optimize your profile so that you get maximum response, and a ProfileHelper tool to improve your profile.
  • Site features' tips section including advice on how to view larger photos, sort search result columns, understand different icons used by the site and generally get the maximum experience from Christian Cafe.
  • Very extensive, thorough and well-organized FAQ and Help sections for help on using the website.

  • Instant messaging service - have instant conversations with other online members. The only drawback to this service is that is contains ads (the rest of the site does not). Christian Cafe claim that the ads offset the cost of the instant messaging service, which is an upgrade from a previous 'quick messaging' system.

  • Get free membership time by referring a friend - each friend who signs up because of you gets you 5 free days!
  • Post your first photo and get 3 free days!
