Realm Connect
Connecting the church, together.
How to use Realm Connect
Realm is a tool that we at Colesville Presbyterian Church have in our toolbox to make our connections strong and efficient. It is a tool for discipleship, fellowship, and giving of our time and our resources. From an operations perspective, using Realm provides both laity and staff the tools to streamline communication and information for our shared ministry. Realm is the central hub for online giving, online membership directory, church calendar, sign-ups for volunteer opportunities and events. CPC staff and lay leaders use Realm to facilitate their responsibilities and communicate with their committees and groups.
