Realm Instructions

Realm Connect

At Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church, we are blessed to have numerous ministries, activities, and events that foster our growth in the name of our Lord. Effective communication is vital as we navigate the challenges of life.

We now offer a unified, centralized resource that helps keep our HAB Family informed and enables us to thrive as a connected church community. Realm Connect is an application designed for quick and efficient communication, especially when in-person connections are not possible.

Realm Connect acts as a significant resource for our ministry staff and serves as an online tool that provides exciting opportunities for you to engage with our church. You can access it via an app on your mobile device or through a web browser on your computer.
