Case Study: Clemson Presbyterian Church achieves year-round student and community connection with Realm

Clemson Presbyterian Uses Mobile Tool to Connect Students and Community

Clemson Presbyterian Church, a PCA congregation in Clemson, SC with weekly attendance of about 600, five staff, and roughly one-third college students, needed a tool people would actually use to connect students and the wider congregation. Their previous system was clunky, underused, and didn’t give leaders the attendance tracking or group-connection capabilities needed to keep transient students engaged year-round, so they turned to Realm.

Realm delivered a mobile church-management solution that lets Clemson Presbyterian Church track attendance, connect students and visitors with groups, and maintain contact with members wherever they are. Using Realm, the church has more effectively engaged transient college students, sustained year‑round relationships, and grown ministry capacity—adding 82 new groups over five years—a clear improvement over their prior system.
