We want our family to stay in touch. A phone call or face-to-face conversation is always best. But how do we stay up-to-date with important, more personal news across the larger church family?
Realm can help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I get a Realm account?
A: Contact Brian Holaway, Director of Communications.
Q: Why isn’t everyone automatically added to the Family News group?
A: While Realm offers a very user-friendly way to stay informed, we don’t assume you want every piece of information available. Thankfully, Realm allows you to choose what information you receive.
Q: Can I request prayers for a friend?
A: Yes, but without permission from your friend the request will go only to the elders and ministers. We respect personal information and circumstances by requiring permission from the person before we publish the request.
