Janet M.

Ministry Coordinator for Finance and Operations

Pros

“It's simple and allows you to keep track of those in your church who are in need of care, whether it's those who are homebound, in rehab, or those who are hospital-bound this tool is a great way to keep everyone on the same page and to keep track of each individual's situation.”

Brian R.

“This is one of the most efficient apps for your church to keep up with Care needs in your congregation. ”

Cons

“Features work differently in Realm as the admin than a regular congregant on connect - it becomes confusing trying to learn two different ways of accessing what I need and communicating that to congregants.”

“Their main complaint with the app is that the pictures are really difficult to see. ”

Janet M.
