CREATE AN ACCOUNT
You may receive an email invitation to join Realm. Simply follow the instructions in that message.
If you do not receive an invitation, simply go to: onrealm.org/HolyTrinityAnkeny. Under the blue ‘Sign In’ button is a light gray box that says, “Don’t have an account yet? Register now.” Click ‘Register now.’
From that point, there are three simple steps:
That’s it! You should now have an account in Realm. If you have any questions, please contact the church office at 515-964-4348.
UPON LOGIN
The first thing you will see when you log into Realm is your newsfeed. This is where you will see the latest posts from your group(s), events and/or photos. If you navigate away from this page and wish to go back, simply click “News” from the main menu.
YOUR PROFILE
To view your profile, click your name at the top right, then click “My Profile.” This will take you to your profile page. From here you are able to edit your profile or manage your privacy.
YOUR PRIVACY
Your listing in Realm (name, primary phone number, primary email, mailing address and photo) is viewable by all HTLC members with a Realm account. (No, your profile will NOT be viewable outside of Realm.) This means that Realm is our online digital directory for all church members and regular attenders!
However, if you wish to make your profile private, you may do so. To change your privacy settings, just follow the steps below:
By default, children’s photos & profile information are hidden from the congregation. However, teachers and group leaders will be able to see a child’s photo but not necessarily their profile information — that privacy setting is up to you to change. Once a child becomes an adult, their photo and contact information will be viewable by the congregation (unless they edit their privacy settings to remain hidden).
NOTIFICATION SETTINGS
Each Realm user has control over their notification settings and it is up to the individual to choose to receive a notification. Leaders can view notification settings for each member in a group. This helps you know how members receive notifications for messages and posts. Leaders, you may want to ask your group members to turn their notifications ‘ON’ if you plan to post or send messages to your group.
To Edit Your Notification Settings
You may receive an email invitation to join Realm. Simply follow the instructions in that message.
If you do not receive an invitation, simply go to: onrealm.org/HolyTrinityAnkeny. Under the blue ‘Sign In’ button is a light gray box that says, “Don’t have an account yet? Register now.” Click ‘Register now.’
From that point, there are three simple steps:
- Follow the prompts on the page. Input your email address (please use the email address the church has on file for you) and create a password. Confirm your password. Click the box that says, “I’m not a robot” and then click the blue ‘Register’ button.
- Check your email for instructions.
- Follow the instructions in the email and fill in the required fields to complete registration.
