Do I Have To Be A Christian To Join ChristianLance?
We strongly encourage Christian webmasters/programmers to join and use our services. However, some members join regardless of their faith background, there is no way for us to know for sure if a member truly holds to Christian beliefs nor can we force members to agree with our Statement of Faith . However, our prayer is that members will have a positive experience working with/for Christians, that perhaps, it will lead them to examine Christianity and eventually accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

How Much Does It Cost?
Christianlance.com does not charge signup fees, membership fees, and no monthly fee. However, there is a minimal commission on each completed project. The commission is only 3% of the bid amount or minimum of $2.00, whichever is greater. Both project creator (Webmaster) and winning bidder (Programmer) will be assessed the 3% fee.

For Example: If you chose a programmer who made a bid for $70 on your project, 3% (or $2.10) of that amount will be charged to your ChristianLance account. The programmer that you have chosen will also pay 3%.
