Logging into Realm

• Select “Log In” at the top of any MVUC web page (or use the link: onrealm.org/MountVernonUnit).

• If this is your first time using Realm, click on the “Forgot your password?” link to register.  In the next screen that appears, enter the same email address that you have provided for church records.  A password reset message will be sent to that address.

• If you have used Realm before and have an account & password, you may need to enter them on a Sign In screen. Afterwards, Realm may remember you and not require sign-in again.
