Realm FAQ

General Questions:

What is Realm? Realm is a real ministry tool.

Realm is an online ministry tool designed for real-time connection. It helps St. James connect with you and you connect with us. As a part of our parish family, we think 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.

Why use Realm? Realm strengthens church connections.

Being a part of St. James doesn’t just happen when you’re on our campus. Realm helps us serve you better throughout the week, whether you are on campus, at home or away. Everyone can be connected from anywhere at any time, right from our mobile devices. Realm helps us engage everyone in the life of our parish community by supporting the healthy relationships essential to our mission of discipleship through WORSHIP, SERVICE, and STUDY. We’ll stay organized, and you’ll stay informed about all of the opportunities for worship, faith formation, service, fellowship, and fun. When we share life together, we will grow together.

What about my privacy? Realm is safe, private, and secure.

Privacy is so important, particularly in light of all the cybersecurity threats today! Therefore, it is one of our greatest concerns. Realm is only made up of the parishioners at St. James, it’s not like a social network that’s open to everyone. Realm keeps your data safe and gives you control over what information you share and who 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, easily download and print your giving statements 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 Finance team to track.

What is our Parish “Invite Code” and what is it for?

The Realm “invite code” StJamesParish is requested when an individual who doesn't already have a Realm login downloads the app and chooses to create an account from the app login screen. This mobile app enables you to have Realm at your fingertips and stay connected to St. James whenever you wish and from anywhere you have access to the internet.

How secure is my family's information in Realm? Realm puts you in control of how much or how little information about you and your family you share.
