We ask for your gender to help make better, more culturally sensitive matches.
Across the global Church, norms around gender vary widely. In many contexts, men and women prefer to connect with someone of the same gender—especially when offering support, prayer, or encouragement. By knowing your gender, we can honor those preferences and help ensure that your interactions on Switchboard are comfortable and appropriate.
We will never sell your information. It’s strictly to support stronger, more thoughtful connections within our network of Believers.
Have questions about how this works or how we use your information? Just send us a message—we’re glad to help.
