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?"
