Realm is a private online community for our church. We can share a directory and stay in touch with groups and events throughout the week.  All parishioners will receive an invitation link that will allow them to log in and complete their profile. 

In Realm, you can manage your personal and contact information, donate, see your giving history, sign up to serve, and connect easily with others in the congregation from your phone, tablet, or computer.

• Profiles: Your profile is your starting point. It contains your contact information, household members, email preferences, giving history, groups you belong to, and more.
• Giving: You can pledge, contribute, and see your giving history through your profile.
• Groups: Realm’s “Groups” feature simplifies interacting with others in the church, including small groups, ministries, and volunteer teams. 
• Serving: You can see all serving opportunities, set your serving preferences, and sign up directly from your phone, computer, or tablet.

If you have an email address on file with the church, you have a profile waiting to be activated!

To activate your profile and get started with Realm, you need to open an email invitation from St. David's.

Follow these steps to activate your profile:

1. Open the email and create a password. You will then be sent a verification email.

2. Open the verification email and click on the link to verify your account. Your profile is activated!

3. To log in to Realm, click on the Realm login button.

4. Enter your email address and the password you created.

First, check your spam/junk folder to see if you received your email invitation and did not realize it. If the email invitation isn’t there, contact Susan DeMar at office@sdlife.org and we will send you another invitation. 

If you think the email address we have on file is no longer active, or you don't have an email address on file, please email Susan to update your contact information.

Realm is a private, password-protected system for members of our church community only.

To check your privacy settings, click on the arrow next to your name in the upper right corner of your screen (or “More” in the app). Then click on "Manage Privacy.” 

We urge everyone over 18 to choose “Everyone in our church.” Other Realm users in the church will be able to see your email and home address, phone number, birthday (month and day, not year!), marital status, and the names of members of your household. If you prefer to keep certain information private, you can choose one of the other options.

To comply with our Safe Church Policy, privacy settings for children and youth under 18 are set to "Only the church staff.” 

You may need to change your email settings for Realm. Find your Settings (see UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL INFO section above) then select a specific setting for each of your groups.
