WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?
1. We are updating the adminstrative tools our staff uses to run the daily operations of our church.
2. We are adding more ways to communicate and connect as a church, all while leaving current methods in place (you'll still get your weekly newsletters!).
3. You determine how much you want to make this part of your experience with our church, but we encourage you to participate.
What is Realm?
Realm is a real ministry tool!
Realm is an online ministry tool designed for real time connection. It helps our church connect with you and you connect with us. If you consider yourself part of this church family, you'll love it. Realm allows you to manage your personal information and who is allowed to see it, control your giving, and keep in touch with the groups that matter to you!
What does Realm do?
Everyone in our church gets a unique profile. Your profile contains everything you want people in our church to know about you. Your profile also enables you to join a small group, RSVP to events, track your giving, update your contact information, change family details, set notification preferences, or replace that outdated family photo.
Groups and classes are an important part of our church, and now you can connect with the people in them throughout the week. You can keep track of upcoming meetings, who’s bringing what to that special potluck, and what’s going on in each other’s lives.
View upcoming church events and register for the ones you'd like to attend. If an event’s registration requires payment, you’ll see its cost, any required deposit amount, acceptable forms of payment, and its no-refund date, if applicable. You can also manage your active registrations and see any outstanding balances.
Select SKills and Interests to share your spiritual gifts with us and help find new serving opportunities where you can best serve the church! View your Serving Teams and schedules, and set your preferences so team leaders can more easily make schedules and assignments.
Review your giving history or make new donations online or on your mobile phone. Simply sign in to look over your year-to-date giving, check pledge progress, print a contribution statement, or make a new one-time or recurring donation. It’s always available and kept secure in an easy-to-use online environment.
Stay connected to our church wherever you go by downloading the free Connect - Our Church Community app for iPhone and Android devices. Use it to communicate with your groups, RSVP to events, manage your giving, update profile information, and more. It makes it easier for us to connect throughout the week and know what’s happening.
