Introducing Realm!At the church office, we are well into the the process of transferring ourchurch management software - both accounting and member management - to a cloud-based application called "Realm." Realm is the online version of the ACS platform already in use for many years at WBC.
|
Consequently, we will be ending the more costly partnership we have had with eChurch and with Pushpay. Here's what this means for you:
- Support for the WBC app will be discontinued.
- Pushpay transactions will cease with the calendar year.
- We encourage our WBC friends and members to create profiles in Realm.
- With a profile in Realm, you can manage your pledges and giving (including setting up automatic, recurring gifts), receive news and notifications from WBC, and communicate with other WBC'ers and WBC groups.
- You can also have easy access to Realm by downloading the 'Realm Connect' app on your iOS or Android device.
- In the coming weeks, we will offer opportunities to explore what Realm can do for us as a church family and provide support for those who would like to set up a profile and navigate the application.
