Know your people better.
Realm Profiles allows a one-stop-shop so staff can know everything about your congregation. Each profile contains personal, family, and contact information, giving history, volunteer info, private notes, and more. Realm Profiles allows your congregation to update their own information. However, staff can turn off certain fields if they’d prefer to manage those at a staff level. The Realm Directory is built for both your staff and congregation. Both can view it from within Realm, but staff can also view the directory in the Realm Shepherd mobile app, and congregants can view it in the Realm Connect mobile app.
Manage your groups and classes.
Groups are integral to keeping worship, fellowship, and connection alive from Sunday to Sunday. Realm Groups provides everything your church, group leaders, and participants need to continue engagement throughout the week. Groups also allow you to manage your formation classes, including communication, events, tuition, attendance, and promotion.
Schedule your ministry leaders and volunteers.
Your volunteers and ministers are ready to serve at weekly and special services and Masses. Realm Volunteers not only lets you schedule these but also allows them to follow through with their assignments. Skills and Interests allow staff to know what spiritual gifts each person has and how they can best serve the church. Scheduling in Realm Volunteers allows staff to create a schedule, add individuals from serving teams to the schedule, and send it to volunteers so they know when to serve. Staff are even made aware of serving preferences and other information, such as the last time served or any scheduling conflicts that exist.
Get a clear picture of your finances.
Tracking your church’s funding allows you to be better stewards of donations given to your ministry. Realm Accounting and Payroll uses drag-and-drop features and easy functions such as e-filing to make your processes quicker. Realm eGiving gives your people more modern and flexible ways to financially support your church while smoothly integrating with Contributions and Accounting.
