The Church Directory

I know many of you have been waiting for an updated church directory. In years past, it was common for churches to distribute print copies. In fact, many a businessperson would join a church just to get their hands on a copy! Today, we have scammers overseas trying to get our directory. Ugh.

For a variety of reasons, we have not gone to the expense of printing a church directory. One reason is that we are switching this month to a new membership database: Realm. This new database is better suited for onboarding new members, and it is less expensive than what we have used for the past several years. Growth and cost savings are always our goals, so we chose Realm as our database!

With Realm, you will have an app on your phone. From there, you will be able to keep your own profile updated and choose what other church members can see about you. Voila! You will have an instant directory in the palm of your hand, with no printing costs. Of course, it will be secure from scammers, too. 

Naturally, there will be a learning curve with this new app. When the time comes, we will have “experts” ready to help you on the church patio every weekend. It’s not quite time yet, though, so please stand by.

Clergy, staff, vestry, and officers are very excited for the modernization this technology will bring to our church. Once you see it, I know you will be, too!
