Adopt a Student
|
Consider participating in our Campus Families Program. The purpose of this program is to connect WBC individuals and families with WBC’s collegiate members and friends. It coordinates hospitality by giving them “a family away from family”. This can be done by providing a care package of treats; hosting the student for a meal; and checking in with them during their semester exams. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, CLICK HERE!

What is Realm? Realm is a real ministry tool.
Realm is an online ministry tool designed for real time connection. It helps our church connect with you and you connect with us. If you consider yourself part of this church family, you’ll love it. Realm allows you to manage your personal information and who is allowed to see it, control your giving, and keep in touch with the groups that matter to you.
Your Realm login works on the Realm website and the mobile app. While the app has a few less features than the website, it is typically enough for everyone to use. Staff and group leaders that need additional functionality or those without access to mobile devices will find the website very user-friendly as well.
Why use Realm? Realm strengthens church connections.
Being the church doesn’t just happen at the church. Realm helps us serve you better and lead this church well between Sundays. Everyone can be connected from anywhere at any time, right from our mobile devices. It engages everyone in the life of our church by supporting the healthy relationships essential to our church’s mission. We’ll stay organized, and you’ll stay informed about all of the opportunities for fellowship. When we share life together, we will grow together.
What about my privacy? Realm is safe, private, and secure.
Your privacy is one of our greatest concerns. Realm keeps your data safe and gives you control over who can view your information. Realm is not open like a social network; it’s made up of only those people in our church body, and you choose which people can see it.
What about giving? Realm gives you control over your giving.
Giving should be easy, and Realm places giving right in the palm of your hands. You may set up recurring gifts, view your giving history, and make changes at any time. Realm automatically records all electronic gifts and adds them to your giving record making it easy for you to give, and easy for our bookkeeper to track.
