ThinkMatch for Churches

Add ThinkMatch to a gathering you are already planning. Guests answer a few optional, host-chosen questions and arrive with shared context, warmer introductions, and natural ways to begin talking.

Enhance the gathering you already have

Keep your current invitation, registration, venue, and program. Add one free ThinkMatch link before the gathering to help people move from attending the same event to actually meeting one another.

How ThinkMatch works

ThinkMatch adds a simple connection experience before the gathering without replacing anything the church already uses.

  • Share one link: Add a ThinkMatch link to the invitation or reminder you already send.
  • Ask relevant questions: Write custom questions or use AI to create editable drafts from event material. Guests choose whether to answer.
  • Find common ground: ThinkMatch compares responses, suggests people each guest may enjoy meeting, explains what they have in common and why they may want to talk, and provides conversation starters.
  • Connect before arriving: Guests can message or video chat without exchanging personal contact information. Hosts can also use the responses to form compatible small groups.

Make hospitality more personal

Newcomers and people arriving alone often need more than a warm greeting at the door. A few shared interests and thoughtful introductions can make it easier to begin a real conversation and find a place in the community.

Useful throughout church life

Use it with newcomer lunches, fellowship dinners, young-adult and singles gatherings, small-group launches, retreats, volunteer orientations, service projects, men's and women's ministries, and other community events.

Create questions from anything

Write completely custom questions, or give ThinkMatch a scripture passage, sermon theme, event description, retreat topic, ministry program, service project, article, or other source material and use AI to generate editable question ideas. You remain in control of every question guests see, and guests choose whether to answer.

Continue a discussion at a café

Common Quandary offers a separate way to meet around a timely article or everyday ethical question. Its in-person gatherings are held only at cafés; it is not a church program or an event format for religious venues.

Private by design

ThinkMatch keeps communication inside the platform and does not share guests' phone numbers or email addresses with one another. People can make a comfortable first connection while retaining control of their contact information.

What this can look like

Before a newcomer lunch, share a ThinkMatch link with five optional questions. Guests can discover common interests, the hospitality team can make more thoughtful introductions, and the first conversation begins with context.

Enhance an upcoming gathering

Create a free ThinkMatch event, choose questions that fit your gathering, and share the link through the invitation or reminder you already use.
