LOS ANGELES, March 13, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- ChristianMingle.com, the largest and fastest growing online community for Christian singles, today announced its new 2014 national Advisory Board members, along with the launch of two newly created regional Advisory Boards. The ChristianMingle Advisory Boards feature trusted leaders and influencers within the Christian community, who provide strategic guidance and key insights while helping facilitate a deeper connection between ChristianMingle and the broader faith-based community. The national Advisory Board members come from across the U.S., and the two regional boards' members hail from the Los Angeles and Dallas areas.

The ChristianMingle Advisory Boards, which consist of pastors, church directors, authors and relationship specialists, will continue to provide direction and input regarding site content, products and features, as well as other strategic initiatives that help ChristianMingle uphold its commitment to helping members grow in their relationships with God while finding His match for them.
