COMMUNITY

@ The Realm Church

We all know how lonely life can get… even in the Bay area—whether working, looking for work, single, married, in college, in school, or just trying to figure life out. We weren’t created to do this life alone, which is one of the reasons we believe that God created us as relational beings.

We believe real life change happens best in the context of authentic and healthy relationships, which is why we offer opportunities to connect with others during and after Church, including gathering around meals, serving, meetings and in other ways throughout the week.

Serving

We also offer service opportunities where we share the Good News of the Gospel, and serve our local and international neighbors in various communities throughout Oakland, CA, and the SF Bay area. We also host prayer meetings as well as other ways that we can connect and encourage each other and others. If you’d like more information then please email us at: mcross@therealmchurch.com.

Get Involved

Community Groups

A key way we build, enjoy, and benefit from quality community is through small groups. In a Realm Church Community Group, 5-15 people partner with Holy Spirit to grow meaningful relationships, discuss and apply Biblical truths, support each other in prayer and care, and serve God and others.

Contact mcross@therealmchurch.com to learn more and check out some groups!

We love serving our neighbors individually and as a church so, if you’d like more information and/or detail about joining us for our online Sunday gatherings at 10AM PST and/or our “Service Sundays”, please email us: mcross@therealmchurch.com.
