Natalie Grant to Host Christian Dating Show 'It Takes a Church'

Natalie Grant will be the host of new Christian themed dating show called, "It Takes A Church," which will air on GSN. The show will revolve around the members of a church going on a mission to find love for "one lucky, single, parishioner ... without his or her knowledge."

"Church has always played such a vital role in my life, and I'm really excited to watch these congregations help their fellow parishioners find love!" Grant said.

Every week "It Takes a Church" will visit a new congregation from across the country to inform a single person that they will be getting help in the dating world. The pastor of the church will then inform his congregation of the task at hand, and they will go out and try to find the best possible match for the single.

At the end of the show, the contestant will pick which date they would like to accept, and the winning matchmaker will get a donation to their church.

"IT TAKES A CHURCH is truly a competition show with heart, in every sense of the word," said Amy Introcaso-Davis, GSN's EVP Programming. "With the  breakout success of our original series 'The American Bible Challenge,' we have learned that audiences are clamoring to see people following their faith and creating positive change in the world-and if there's a little romance involved, what could be better than that?"
