Realm is a church management software that is website-based and has a companion app called Connect (available in your cell phone's app store).

It primarily serves our staff's administrative needs, but it also offers exciting opportunities to support your involvement in our church.  Dublin Baptist Church uses the software for member management, communications, child check-in, accounting, event registration, giving, attendance, and connection.

For members, the software gives you the opportunity to connect with others through an online directory, register for upcoming events, give online, find a connect group, and more.

We have been using Realm since 2011, and we know it hasn't been perfect.  Through this guide, we hope to dispel myths and make your Realm experience the best it can be.  All we ask is for an open mind and a willingness to learn.

Learn the necessary steps to add and save your payment information within your account. This guide simplifies the process to ensure your billing details are kept current and secure.  Payment methods in Realm are used for giving and paying for events.  All transactions are processed through VANCO, which is a third-payment processor much like a bank.  Realm and VANCO subscribe to the highest levels of cybersecurity.  For more information on the security practices, please call the church office.
