What is Realm?

Realm is an online ministry tool designed for real-time connection and engagement. It allows our church to connect with you through targeted communications, newsfeeds, and more, and enables you to connect with us and other members quickly and efficiently.

The church office uses it as an administrative, accounting, and database tool. Church members can use it to:

  • Manage your pledge and giving details

  • Update your personal entry in the online directory

  • Search for church members in the online directory

  • Volunteer for posted opportunities

  • Register for events - and pay any associated fees

  • Contact individual church members, staff, or groups - using the chat feature

  • Strengthen your church connections by staying informed about church happenings and opportunities for fellowship
