Thriving since 2003, Greater Faith Grace Bible Church has been serving the Rialto community for over 20 years.
With an in-person weekly attendance of about 60, they connect with twice as many people online as Pastor Harry Bratton is committed to connecting his congregation as a whole.
Greater Faith began using Realm in 2019, utilizing the accounting tools, online giving, and, most recently, the integration with Constant Contact.
Whether they are serving food each Thursday to those struggling with food insecurity, providing resources to the unhoused, or providing a space for connection through their Grief Share Ministry, Pastor Bratton and his staff utilize the many communication tools within Realm to support these efforts as well as other needs within their ministry.
“We utilize all of Realm’s communication tools for our ministry. We use the Constant Contact integration for email and strongly encourage our members to get involved by using the Connect App. We also use Realm to track attendance for everything. We even have people utilizing check-in!”
-Pastor Harry Bratton
Pastor Bratton also strongly expressed how helpful the integrated online giving tool has been to their church.
“The church implemented online giving before COVID-19 hit—a decision that proved providential. When in-person services paused, our ministry continued because giving remained stable. We’re even exploring cryptocurrency giving through the Engiven partnership now.”
-Pastor Harry Bratton
Greater Faith is continuing to learn about the new tools Realm offers as they heavily utilize the webinars and videos through MinistrySmart, the in-product resource hub.
“I would recommend Realm to other churches because it’s simple, cloud-based, has lots of training and resources available, and it provides so many tools for the church to make things so much easier. Being able to set up volunteers and staff to use different parts of Realm has also helped, so we can all carry the workload.”
