Groups - ACS to Realm Toolkit

Compare ACS Attendance with Realm Groups.

Check out below to see how Realm takes your groups from lines of names in a database to actual people in your church serving and growing together.

ACS

Realm

Leave your group setup to us.

We know how much work setting up your Master Groups, Categories, and Elements were in ACS, so we want to make this transition as easy as possible for you! Your group information, including rosters and history, will be carried over to Realm.

But it doesn’t stop there. Realm takes your groups and organizes them into Ministry Areas, allowing you to group your ministries together, such as Outreach groups or Sunday School Classes. You can then assign leaders to those ministry areas, as well as leaders to the groups. This gives your leaders, both staff and volunteers, the ability to communicate with their group members and use group leader tools, such as tracking attendance, posting events, and uploading files.

For a detailed Mapping Guide on Groups, check with your Implementation Specialist.

Our small group leaders are able to see who all is in their group and can keep up with those people. They have access to it all the time, and it's a good way to stay in touch with our small groups and see who we're discipling.

Realm has given our church and ministries visibility to keep our fellowship involved, engaged, and growing.

Realm changed the way we do ministry. We have been thrilled with Realm and the communication tool it has provided us. Our groups and members are more connected than they have ever been. Elderly people who are home-bound can stay connected to their church and their groups.
