CLICK HERE TO SET UP YOUR REALM PROFILE

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.
