Churches have lots of events happening throughout the day, week, month, and year! Event creators in Calendar can create events with schedules, rooms, and resources to stay informed about what's happening on your campus.
Tip
Use Event Templates to make the event creation process even quicker and ensure consistency in all of your events' settings.
From the Events page, select New Event or hover over the date and select New to create an event.
-
The Event Owner will receive the communication regarding this event. Anyone with permissions in Calendar can be an Event Owner.
-
If the event matches a template, choose it from the list.
-
Select the dates and time of the event, and add if it repeats.
-
Choose the physical or virtual location and event description, which will show on the event itself as well as any kiosks.
Note
If your organization has campuses listed, they'll be shown here to select, but cannot be edited from Calendar. If you add a new location, it is only for this event and not shared with other events.
-
Choose to publish, feature, or leave the event unpublished (hidden) on Church Center.

Select Save event to simply add the event to the calendar. Select More options to go to the event page where you can add rooms and resources.
