Realm is Here – Join Us!
CPC uses Realm (Real Ministry) to connect in fresh new ways. It helps our church connect with you and you connect with each other and us! We are excited about what Realm offers us as a church family and how it helps us accomplish our mission of developing ignited, active and growing disciples of Christ in Northern Virginia.

FAQs
Is there an app for my phone?
Yes, the Realm Connect App lets you stay connected right from your smart phone or tablet. You can download the app from your Apple or Android store.
Is this the directory?
CPC’s main use of Realm is to get the congregation engaged by connecting you with the members of the groups that you participate in at CPC. You will have access to your fellow group member’s contact information. Given obvious privacy concerns, we do not provide member information online or in print without member permission when the CPC member opts-in the Directory.
Why should I give online?
There are several benefits for our church family in using Realm’s online giving system.
- It is a simple and convenient way to make your regular offering directly from your phone, tablet or computer and allows you to access your giving statements and pledge status whenever needed.
- It allows you to simplify your giving by creating a weekly, monthly or quarterly recurring donation that automatically draws from your bank account or credit/debit card on the date your specify. Your regular giving to the church continues even when you are out of town or unable to come to church.
- It is secure. Realm uses an encrypted secure website for online giving to ensure protection of your sensitive information.
Is there more?
Not only are we excited about online giving and a more accurate church database, there are many other benefits as well.
- We are implementing Check-In for all of our Children’s and Student Ministries programs.
- All of our Event registrations (both paid and unpaid) are now managed through Realm allowing for easy registrations and payments (if applicable) by our members and guests.
- Most of our Leadership Boards and many of our Groups are actively using Realm to stay connected outside of their normal meeting times.
