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?"

Christian Dating Show in Development for GSN
GSN is considering adding a faith-based dating show as a way to continue appealing to the audience that was drawn to the network by "The American Bible Challenge."
The dating show, "It Takes a Church," follows church members as they try to find a romantic match for a single member of their congregation without his or her knowledge.
"The congregation, Pastor, friends, and family will all contribute, but in the end our single will decide which suitor she is putting her faith in. The parishioner who brought the chosen suitor will win money for both themself and their charity."
Amy Introcaso-Davis, executive vice president for programming and development at GSN, told reporters Tuesday that the show is like a modern version of how "the ladies of the church are always trying to fix up the few single" congregants, according to The New York Times.
She also said the show will target the network's new viewers who were brought in by "The American Bible Challenge," though GSN officials stated they don't plan to fill the station's schedule with faith-based programming. "It Takes a Church," which is being developed for GSN by Sean Kelly, is one of six original series being developed for the network, including another dating show and a program featuring competing dance studios.
"The American Bible Challenge," hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, is a Bible trivia show in which contestants compete for money for their favorite charity. In its first season last year, the show became the most-watched program in GSN's history. Kirk Franklin, a nine-time Grammy-winning recording artist, joined the show as a musical co-host for its second season, which began in March.
"I'm very excited to create the musical environment for The American Bible Challenge," Franklin said before the season began, according to GSN. "The show is a fresh and fun approach to celebrating the Word of God, and being able to provide an element of praise, worship and honor is both exciting and humbling."
The network also announced the release of "The American Bible Challenge Bible Study" in March. The curriculum for the 10-week study was written in conjunction with the American Bible Society and features video and commentary from best-selling author Max Lucado, novelist Karen Kingsbury and country music artist Clay Walker, among others.
