A Christ-first community for single Christians in New York City. Verified through your local church. Built for marriage, not matches.
Church-verified members · Real events · Formation alongside connection
Not self-attested. Every member is confirmed by their local church — a pastor, elder, or small-group leader vouches for them before they can join.
Swiping is designed to feel like progress. Devout is designed to actually get you there with events, real conversations, and a community rooted in shared faith.
Moments for fellowship. Events for meeting in person. Basecamp to help you grow in your faith.
Share what the Lord is doing in your life. Celebrate community wins. Invite others into your week. Because the people in your Moments should be people you’d actually trust.
Singles mixers. Curated socials. Gatherings in partnership with local churches. Every event is shaped by the Devout team — so the people in the room already share something deeper than a profile prompt.
Met someone at a mixer? Send a connection request. When both sides accept, messages open. Slow, intentional, and rooted in something real.
Devout is also a place to grow. Curated teaching on singleness, dating, marriage, and discipleship — drawn from teachers we trust, with original Devout content on the way.
Compatibility built around theology, practice, and life stage — not just preferences. We are building it with pastors, not just engineers. Coming to Devout this year.
Two New York City pastors started Devout. In 2025, a third founder joined to help build it.
Jordan is an elder at Gallery Church in Chelsea and the CEO of Devout. He has spent more than two decades in live television production — a career he still keeps — and brings that same instinct for trust, clarity, and real-time responsibility to the work of building Devout.
Stan was born and raised in New York City. He has spent 20 years across nonprofits, church planting, higher education, and tech — helping plant Gallery Church, teaching philosophical ethics at the college level, and directing campus ministry at Columbia. He now leads the City Ministry Program at City to City, and lives in Harlem with his wife and daughter.
Elson is the CTO of Devout, based in Austin. He studied neuroscience at Emory, holds an MS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and has spent his career writing software for the parts of life people don’t want to get wrong — banking at Malauzai and Finastra, healthcare at athenahealth, and now dating at Devout, where he joined in 2025 to lead engineering and product.
