Transitioning Recurring Giving from Realm to Church Center

Why We're excited about this

We are transitioning our church from our old software, Realm, to a new software called Church Center. We believe this change will improve our communication tools as a church and make lots of things like finding events, connecting with each other, finding opportunities to serve, registering for events, and giving online.

There are two things you need to do to help us with this transition:

One: If you have online recurring gifts to the church set up, transfer those to Church Center (again, full instructions are in the “How to set up your new recurring gift in church center” box below).

Two: Click here to download the Church Center app.

Please email the Finance Office or call our Financial Controller, Joe Ghobrial, at 617.523.3383, ext 311 with any questions.

Gifts of Endowment and Estate Planning

Gifts to the endowment fund provide a source of permanent funding for the ministries of PSC. The principal of your gift remains whole, while providing permanent income for ministry. The endowment fund is professionally managed by Wellington Management Company. In addition, estate planning allows you to provide for your children, grandchildren and other family members while leaving a legacy for Park Street’s ongoing ministries. PSC welcomes gifts through life insurance, wills, trusts, retirement accounts and life estates. To plan such a gift, either consult your personal financial planner or contact the PSC Finance Office for more information.
