Shekinah Cravens, Founder
After many years in the technology sector, I felt a stirring in my heart—a call to pursue something more personal, more eternal. As a woman of faith and a firm believer in the sacred covenant of marriage, I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of love rooted in purpose, prayer, and commitment. As Scripture reminds us, "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

That calling led me into the world of Christian matchmaking. A Lasting Tie serves individuals who share our Statement of Faith (stated within the Letter of Intent), including the belief that marriage is a covenant between one biological man and one biological woman. Our mission is to help Christ-centered singles find relationships built on shared values, spiritual alignment, and the kind of love that grows into a strong, enduring marriage.

A Lasting Tie is more than a business—it’s a ministry. We walk alongside you in prayer, discernment, and intentional connection, creating introductions that are both meaningful and aligned with Biblical truth.

You deserve a love story authored by God. Let’s begin your journey together.
