New Fellowship Management System!
You, Your Giving, Your Groups, and More!
Rollout of features will continue throughout the 25-26 Fellowship year.
Realm is where all Member data is stored.
Your account in Realm contains your personal profile and contact information. It is tied to your email address.
Realm is a private system for invited Members of our Fellowship community only.
Connect is the desktop and app location for most Members' regular use.
Your Fellowship communications, online directory, group participation and group resources are all on Connect. Giving and more are also on Connect, with additional capacity such as statements on Realm.
"Realm Connect" can help UUFH Members to live our values more fully.
For security purposes, when you login to your personal account on Realm, you will verify your identity before viewing or changing any of your contact information or personal information. In Realm, you can set your own preferences.
For example, if you wish, you can set:
- Your pronouns
- Privacy settings for the information you permit in the Members’ online directory
- Your preferences for notifications via emails or email summaries plus push notifications
- And more!
