Electronic Giving
Holy Trinity uses an online system called Realm to help with electronic giving. Creating a Realm account gives you control over your giving. You may set up recurring gifts, view your giving history, make changes at any time and download your tax statements.

Learn how to use Realm for simple giving.
Did You Know We Have a Realm App?
