Yes! Many people prefer to use an app instead of logging in through a web browser. Once you’ve logged in for the first time, you can download the app called “Connect – Our Church Community” from the app store tied to your mobile device (Apple Store and Google Play). Log into the app with the same email address and password you created through a web browser, and your app will stay connected to your account with the church. Find a helpful video here.
If you have questions about how to use Realm, check out the guide here or watch how-to videos.
Also, please feel free to email communications@sotv.org with any questions or concerns.
