Caché Connections in the News

Press Release

Cache’ Connections is an innovative business encompassing an established concept, but has a unique approach in delivering a service to the Christian single community. Unlike the competition, Cache’ Connections is owned and operated by Christians and is exclusively for Christians. This service transcends the typical dating sites as we offer hope and healing to singles through chats, forums and blogs led by Christian authors and experts, such as Drs. Tom and Beverly Rodgers.

Cache’ Connections is designed to address a nationwide crisis. This service is offered as a solution to change the current worldly trend of “anything goes” with regard to forming relationships. In a time where marriage avoidance is an ongoing dilemma and the single population is at a record high of almost 50 percent, we have recognized the need to look beyond a simple cure and also deal with the prevention aspect of this issue.

To assure a membership of like-minded believers, Cache’ Connections members are required to agree with four basic, non-denominational faith statements. Additionally, the questionnaire will help identify where each member stands in their personal faith walk. Since educating singles on healthy relationships is a core element of the service, members will be receiving relationship guidance from Drs. Rodgers as they progress through the questionnaire.

In the Fall of 2007, Cache’ Connections’ initial, personalized service was featured in the Scrooge Report: see article below. This article prompted much attention from the Christian community in the United States and from as far away as New Zealand. Since its publication, the founders have been told repeatedly what a “much needed” service Cache’ Connections provides, and are anxious to spread awareness of this new venue for Christian singles to connect with other believers.

Cache Connections has Plenty of Cache' for Christian Singles

Since our society has long abandoned formal, “proper” introductions of unmarried people to one another, and most frown on arranged marriages, what is a Christian single person to do? Being a Christian single has it’s benefits, and some people are called to that lifestyle. But if you or someone you know is part of the majority of Believers, those who know God has a soul-mate “out there” for them somewhere, and hate the sterile, ineffective approaches of typical dating services, Cache Connections may be for you.

Cache' Connections is the outgrowth of the matchmaking abilities of friends and business partners Kim Whitaker and Linda Martin. Believing that a faith-based, personal approach to finding a mate was lacking, the two women started a matchmaking service. Soon it became apparent that they needed a larger pool of singles and decided to take Cache' Connections online in February, 2007.

Kim and Linda said “We built the service exclusively for Christians…It has always been crucial that we are lifting up in prayer our clients and all areas of the business and committing every aspect to be done in a God-pleasing manner. We believe God hard-wires in everyone a destiny to be completed here on earth, so we take this role very seriously.”

A cache is a hidden treasure, and some of the unique characteristics of Cache' Connections are the personalized, interactive services intended to bring out the treasure in the people they serve.  Cache' tries to help members understand themselves and develop healthy relationships. Kim and Linda  host online chats to stay in touch with members and provide support from Drs. Tom and Beverly Rodgers, relationship therapists, international speakers and authors of multiple books on Christian relationships.

Cache' adds interest by hosting live chats and a “dating game” segment where a single is spotlighted and they narrow choices down to finalists.

To get started, prospective members must agree to a statement of faith, provide a credit card, and answer a questionnaire.  The members are given a series of choices to describe their  faith and how it plays out in their daily lives. The questions are designed to be a teaching tool, guiding members to think about who they are and what they are looking for in a mate.  The next task to register is photo submission. Since other sites tempt members to use outdated photos, Cache' members are required to submit photos reflecting a more present reality.

Cache' Connections is unabashedly Christian, and scriptural context is provided on their site for all the activities. Check them out further at http://www.cacheconnections.com/
