Case Study: Center Grove Baptist Church builds stronger community with Realm

Center Grove Baptist Church - Customer Case Study

Center Grove Baptist Church, a Southern Baptist church in North Carolina with 1,200 weekly attendees, faced challenges with communication and fostering authentic community. Their reliance on Facebook and manual spreadsheets made it difficult to track engagement and integrate new members, a problem intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. To address this, the church turned to Realm for a more streamlined and centralized tool to improve involvement and retention.

By implementing Realm’s Pathways and Groups management features, the solution provided an efficient, cloud-based platform for staff and volunteers to shepherd new members and reorganize their small group ministry. As a result, Realm helped Center Grove reduce the number of people falling through the cracks, leading to increased membership growth and retention while creating more opportunities for community connection.
