About Deseret Singles

Deseret Singles is a dating app built by and for Latter-day Saints — a place where faith comes first and where connection, courtship, and eternal marriage are the point, not the fine print. We built it from scratch, for the way members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints actually date.

Our mission

Our mission is simple: help faithful Latter-day Saints find each other. For too long, members have had to wade through generic dating apps that treat shared faith, temple covenants, and the goal of an eternal family as an afterthought — or settle for older, clunky "LDS" apps that never quite worked. We think people who share what matters most deserve a modern, trustworthy home built around those values.

Deseret Singles brings a modern swipe-and-match experience together with the things that actually matter to Latter-day Saint singles: shared standards, honesty about intentions, and real safety. We want every member — whether they live in a Utah singles ward or somewhere far from the nearest congregation — to have a genuine shot at meeting someone who is looking for the same thing they are.

Who Deseret Singles is for

Deseret Singles is built for single members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and for anyone who sincerely lives by Latter-day Saint standards and shares the same goals — faith, high standards, and the hope of an eternal family. You do not need a current temple recommend to join. You set your own preferences, including how important temple attendance and Church activity are to you, so you can find someone whose standards genuinely match yours.

How the app works

Members create a profile, browse other verified singles, and match with people they are interested in. Matches can chat one-on-one or join community rooms to talk in a group. Matching is designed around shared faith and standards rather than proximity alone, so distance is never a reason a good connection gets missed — an important thing for members who live outside the largest Church hubs.

Every feature is free right now, and the first 2,500 pioneering members keep the full feature set free for life. There are no hidden costs to start, and no gimmicks — just download the app and begin.

Safety and trust

Safety is not a bolt-on for us. Profiles are verified so members can trust that the people they meet are real. SafeDate™, our built-in safety system, lets members share the details of an upcoming date so someone they trust knows where they are. Messages are moderated to keep community rooms and conversations respectful, and members can block or report anyone at any time. Personal contact information is never shared with other members, and a person's exact location is never shown.

Our values

Faith, connection, and marriage sit at the center of everything we build. We believe dating should be hopeful, honest, and pointed toward something lasting. That belief shapes our design choices, our community standards, and the kind of experience we want every member to have. Deseret Singles is a labor of love — and it only works because of the pioneering members who are helping shape what LDS dating can be.

The story behind Deseret Singles

Deseret Singles grew out of a nearly thirty-year dream to give Latter-day Saints a real home for meeting someone who shares what matters most. You can read that story in the founder's own words on the Meet the Founder page.
