Case Study: Friends Church achieves stronger community and 72% small-group engagement with Realm

Friends Church Builds Community with Engaging Technology

Friends Church, a 100+-year‑old Friends congregation in Yorba Linda, CA with five campuses and about 4,800 weekly attendees, needed a reliable church management solution to keep members, visitors, and staff connected and prevent people from becoming disengaged. To support their mission of building authentic community and planting new churches, they selected Realm and its Realm Connect app to help facilitate communication, group life, and member care.

Realm provided news feeds, member profiles, groups functionality and a single place for registration and connection, making it easier for people to find life groups, stay informed, and be prayed for. As a result of using Realm, Friends Church reports strong community engagement—72% of members are involved in small groups—and smoother member communications and administration across campuses.
