Our verdict

LDS Singles is a long-running dating site for Latter-day Saints, now operated by Black Cap Holdings. Basic members can message their matches, and it suits people who prefer suggested matches to swiping.

Bottom line: A good complement to Mutual for older LDS singles. Younger members will find more people on Mutual.

Great for: Latter-day Saints over 30 who prefer a website

Not ideal for: People outside the US, Canada and Australia, or anyone who wants to hide their profile.

Who runs LDS Singles now

This LDS Singles review starts with a change of hands. The site used to be run by Spark Networks. Its help center now says it’s operated by Black Cap Holdings, which also has Christian Mingle, JDate and Zoosk (LDS Singles). A new iPhone app arrived in May 2025. It isn’t owned by or affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It’s also limited by country. You can use LDS Singles only in the United States, Canada, Australia and US territories. Elsewhere, including on a mission or a trip abroad, your account may be blocked or flagged, and a VPN can trigger the same thing.

How the LDS Singles dating site works

You can use it on a computer or in the app, and you must be 18 or over. LDS Singles suggests people, rather than giving you a search box. You get a few Recommended Picks a day, based on your answers and preferences, and a Discover section for people outside those preferences. If you both Like each other, you’ve got a match and can talk.

What makes it specific to the faith is its preferences. All members can set them for missions served or planned and for church activity, along with age, distance, relationship type, children and family plans (LDS Singles). Preferences guide suggestions but aren’t strict, so you’ll sometimes see people who don’t fit.

Black Cap has also started bringing in members from its other apps. It says all of them identify as part of your community, but you can’t opt out for now. If it matters that someone is an active Latter-day Saint, ask early.

What’s free

Free Basic members can view profiles, send 10 Likes a day, see three Recommended Picks a day and message anyone they’ve matched with. That’s more than the App Store listing suggests, and more than this site used to offer. Premium adds unlimited Likes, a list of who liked you and more Picks. See what LDS Singles costs.

Who you’ll meet

LDS Singles doesn’t publish its numbers, but its format suits members who are past their twenties, and people who’d rather read suggested profiles than swipe. Younger members tend to be on Mutual, which is much bigger. Our LDS dating sites ranking compares them.

Is LDS Singles legit?

Yes, it’s a real service. Photos are reviewed before they appear, and a selfie check earns you a badge. The new iPhone app has few ratings so far, only 34 in the US App Store, averaging 3.2 out of 5 (checked November 1, 2026), so it tells you little. Don’t send money to anyone you meet here, whatever they say about a mission or a family emergency. Our romance scam guide shows the usual script.

LDS Singles vs Mutual

Mutual is a swipe app, popular with younger members. LDS Singles offers suggested matches, works on a website and may suit people over 30. See Mutual vs LDS Singles.

Our tip

Set your mission and church activity preferences first, since they’re free and they’re why you’re here. Then be plain about your temple and family goals in your profile, because that’s what people want to know, and it saves everyone’s time.
