Located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, just outside of Milwaukee, Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church has served the Greek community for 100 years. Founded by Greek immigrants, it is a church rich with culture, as 20% of its 170 members were born in Greece.
Father Panteliminion has been the presiding priest for the last seven years. He serves with a small staff of three committed to fostering an environment of connection and servitude.
From hosting an annual Greek Festival to sending mission teams to Mexico to build houses, to Fr. Panteliminion and his wife spearheading a program that assists areas hit by natural disasters, these are just a few ways Saints Constantine’s serves as the hands and feet of Christ.
Saints Constantine & Helen began using Realm in 2018. Over the years, they slowly started using the many tools Realm offers to manage their church operations–online giving, attendance, event registration, reporting, actionable dashboards, and mobile apps–the Shepherd App and the Connect App.
Fr. Panetliminion finds the Shepherd App very helpful, frequently accessing needed member information.
“The Shepherd App makes it easy for me to quickly get an address, phone number, or get needed information for home visits.”
-Father Panteliminion
His ministry also readily uses the newsfeed in the Connect App, Realm’s integrated member mobile app, to share relevant information about upcoming events, to share church flyers, and even to remind members to RSVP through Realm’s Registration Event tool so they can plan appropriately.
His church heavily focuses on ministering to different groups within its congregation. He and his wife have opened their house to young adults once a month, providing a meal and time for fellowship.
They also have a Women’s Ministry that finds Realm very useful. When they host a bake sale or have an annual Palm Sunday fish meal, they utilize Realm’s Registration Event tool to allow people to purchase items through Realm’s online payment capabilities.
“Realm has a lot of functionality and is an all-in-one package that allows us to not only oversee finances, which is important, but also allows us to stay connected, keep our members informed, and organize everything from volunteers to events to missions.”
-Father Panteliminion
