Realm Connect

Realm is King Avenue’s connection platform. It allows you to receive personalized communication based on your interests and involvement, connect with members of your small group or class, access the church directory, and view your giving history.

Efficiency – Realm provides pastors and ministry leaders with one centralized, comprehensive database, eliminating the need for multiple incomplete lists and systems.

Targeted Messaging – Receive churchwide updates along with announcements and communications tailored to the ministries and groups you’re involved in.

Online Photo Directory – Find contact information and photos of fellow congregants in the church directory.

Giving – Manage your pledge, give electronically, and view your giving history and statements online.

Events – Register for upcoming church events directly through Realm.

You may be getting general emails from the church, but do not yet have an account in Realm to make use of the additional features. To request an invitation, please email our Realm Administrator, Michael Billups (av@kingave.org). 

You will receive a Realm invitation in your email. Click on the link in your invitation (either on a computer or a smart phone), follow the directions, and you're on! CLICK HERE for a video on how to navigate the REALM setup on a computer.

• Realm App Stepsheet - Download this step-by-step guide on how to use Realm on a smartphone or tablet.

• Congregant Giving - Learn more about making online contributions or setting up recurring gifts.

• Realm on Mobile App - Some of the larger features in Realm require the work space of a full monitor and do not work best on a mobile device. Others are well-suited to smaller devices. To get the best experience, keep your mobile devices up to date and maintain the latest version of your mobile browser. Older devices and mobile browsers may not support all features.

• Manage Your Profile - Keep your Realm profile information updated. Your profile contains all the information that church staff and others with appropriate permissions can view about you.

• Manage Notification Settings - Manage your newsfeed, volunteer assignment, and inbox notification settings.

• Use the Online Directory - The online directory contains an alphabetical list of congregant profiles in Realm. This allows you to search for specific individuals and find their profile information.

• Find a Group to Join - Joining a group helps you get more involved in your church and strengthens your fellowship. You can search for a group and send a request to join.

If I accept my Realm invitation on my computer, do I have to also accept it on the mobile app? No. Once your account is set up, you can access from either place. You use your email address and the password that was used to set up the account.

Is there an app for my phone? Yes, but make sure your set up your account on a computer first. 

I'm getting a lot of emails. How can I control this? You have complete control over what kinds of notifications you receive, and where you receive them. You can customize your notification settings (mobile phone notifications and email) with settings in your account. 

Can everyone see my address, phone number, and email? You have complete control of what is published to the directory. 

Why is it asking for my birth date? Sometimes there are two people with the same name! The birth date ensures that those records are kept separate.

What if I'm not "in the system?" Those without a login will still receive targeted emails about the church's happenings. Without a login, congregants won't be able to access their giving records nor congregant directory. Only those with Realm accounts will be able to interact with other members in small group areas.

Is Realm replacing systems we already have? The King Avenue website will still contain an up-to-date calendar and annoucements as it always has. It will also will serve as our "public face" for those searching for a church home. Our main Facebook Page will remain, but the individual ministry groups will be moved into Realm.

Can I post in Realm, or is only one-way communication? Realm will have a combination of one-way and two-way communication. The whole group area will be one-way communication, but many of the smaller groups will allow members of the group to interact with each other. 

How do I delete outdated items? Realm is a news stream. That means that everything stays in the stream, but the new items are always at the top. Unlike email, you don't need to manage this news stream.
