Frequently asked questions
Who is MyFaith for?
MyFaith is built for anyone exploring Christianity, church members seeking mid-week connection, and faith leaders serving their communities. Whether you are taking your very first step, looking for spiritual guidance during a difficult season, or managing a local ministry, MyFaith makes connection and community accessible to everyone.
Do I need to belong to a church to use MyFaith?
Absolutely not. MyFaith is open to everyone, whether you are actively part of a church, exploring Christianity for the first time, or simply looking for a trusted person to talk to. While certain interactive features—like church announcements, groups, and events—are tied to specific local congregations, you can completely search, browse, and connect with verified Faith Leaders all on your own terms, without ever needing to join a church community on the platform.
What kind of support can I get?
You can connect with trusted Faith Leaders to discuss a wide variety of personal, practical, and spiritual topics, including: - Exploring faith: asking honest questions or navigating doubts about Christianity - Spiritual guidance: requesting personal mentorship, advice, or prayer - Life's challenges: seeking a supportive listener during difficult circumstances or seasons of change - Previewing local churches: learning about a church’s worship style, demographic mix, or upcoming events before ever stepping through the physical door - Simple connection: finding a trusted person to talk to when you need a supportive sounding board. MyFaith is built entirely to facilitate authentic, person-to-person conversations that help you navigate your journey with total confidence.
Is this the same as therapy or counselling?
No. MyFaith helps you find and connect with Faith Leaders for spiritual support, guidance, and conversation. While these interactions can be deeply meaningful, MyFaith is not a replacement for professional medical, clinical mental health, or counselling services.
Who are the faith leaders on the platform?
MyFaith works with verified Faith Leaders connected to established churches, ministries, and Christian communities. You can easily view a leader's background, church affiliation, areas of focus, and real-time availability before choosing who to find and connect with.
Can I choose who I speak to?
Yes, completely. MyFaith is built to help you discover and connect with Faith Leaders at your own pace. You can freely browse detailed profiles, check real-time availability, and filter by specific areas of focus before deciding who you would like to reach out to.
Can I speak to someone outside my local area?
Yes. While MyFaith prioritizes local connection, it completely allows you to reach verified Faith Leaders anywhere if that feels more appropriate or accessible for you. This is incredibly helpful if you are moving to a new area, unable to travel, working around a busy schedule, or prefer to speak with someone who shares a particular background, language, or specific area of focus.
Do I have to commit to anything?
Not at all. You can use MyFaith whenever you need it, whether that is for a single conversation or more ongoing support. You are completely free to engage in a way that feels right for you, with absolutely no obligation to join a specific church or continue using the platform.
Is it private and secure?
Yes, completely. Your personal data is fully protected and is never sold or shared for commercial use. To maintain a trusted environment, all interactions are secure, private, and subject to our Code of Conduct and Privacy Policy. These policies outline our strict safeguarding frameworks, including standard exceptions where reporting is legally required to ensure community safety.
How much does it cost?
We are still shaping our long-term model, but MyFaith is built to be completely free for individuals, with simple and affordable options for church communities as we scale.
