Our church is moving to a new record-keeping software called Realm, which will improve administrative tasks and enhance connectivity within our church community. The Realm Connect App will replace the EasyTithe Church App, providing 24/7 access to your giving history online. All current members with an email on file will receive an invitation from Realm. After creating your account, please update your profile to ensure all your information is correct. Reach out to Niko Semertsidis or Linda Karadimas if you have any questions.
