Media & Communications
Communication is an important part of any healthy relationship.
Connect with each other like never before.
Communicating through Realm makes it easy for you to get in touch with people in your church. Quickly send a chat, email, or text message to one or multiple people.
Help put names to faces.
Everyone in your church can create and manage their own personal and family profiles, including their own privacy settings so they know who can see what information, delivering a church directory that’s never out of print.
Let people choose what's 'just right.'
Realm gives people personal control of their own notification preferences so they get relevant communication in the way that’s just right for them.
Reach them where they are.
The Connect mobile app gives you power to reach your church no matter where they are. They can interact with each other through messages, see group and churchwide posts, and view and register for events all while living their daily lives.
What Communication Directors Love
“One of the things I am most excited about in Realm is tracking our kids through the process—building these objectives. We want you to know God is real, and that you can talk to God.”
- Brittany Pound, Children’s Ministries
Keep parents informed and in control.
Parent/guardian contacts will receive emails and texts sent to their child(ren). Enable Parent Oversight for child groups so parents can view group information and interact with group posts.
Reach outside your church walls.
Whether live streaming or sharing videos, Realm Streaming allows you to share content during worship services or throughout the week to reach a broader audience while maintaining your online identity with an ad-free experience.
Communicate fellowship opportunities.
From church-wide or public registration events to group events, your members can see events relevant to their groups on the event calendar in Realm and register or RSVP as needed. Plus, your registration events can be shared on your website or social media to increase your reach.
Keep your small groups in touch.
Communicating with groups can be a struggle, especially when you need to get information out quickly. However, Realm lets you do that effortlessly, while enabling group members to communicate with ease. Group members can be notified via email, in-app notifications, and even texts, allowing them to stay in contact with their groups.
Stay connected to each other and to the ministry of your church.
Deepen relationships, celebrate milestones, boost giving, and participate in the work of the Lord. Download the “Connect – Our Church Community” app for iOS or Android devices. With Realm, it’s freely available to anyone in your church.
