Events

The Events section displays all your church's activities in a detailed list view, making it easy to find, register for, and manage events.

Finding Events

By default, the Events page shows upcoming events, but you can filter by status to find exactly what you're looking for:

• Upcoming: All future events in chronological order
• Today: Events happening today
• Past: Completed events (useful for viewing past services or activities)

Additionally, filter by event type using the buttons at the top: Services, Meetings, Classes, Social Events, Outreach Activities, or Other. Select multiple types to see a combination.

Browsing Event Details

Each event in the list displays the title, date, time, location, and a description. Click on an event to expand it and see additional details, including assigned team members, current registration count, and capacity (if applicable).

For members: Click "Register" to sign up. You'll receive a confirmation and may be sent reminders as the event approaches.

For staff: Click "View Registrations" to see who has registered. You can manually add or remove attendees, track attendance, and export the registration list.

Creating Events (Staff & Administrators)

Click the blue "Create Event" button at the top of the page. Fill in the event details:

• Title: Give the event a clear, descriptive name
• Description: Provide context about what attendees can expect
• Date & Time: Set start and end times
• Location: Enter the venue or "Online" if applicable
• Type: Select from Service, Meeting, Class, Social, Outreach, or Other
• Team Members: Assign staff or volunteers to roles
• Capacity: Set a maximum attendance limit if needed
• Recurring: If this repeats, set the recurrence pattern (weekly services, monthly meetings, etc.)

Once you save, the event appears immediately on the calendar and in the event list.

Managing Registrations

After staff create an event, they can view and manage attendee registrations. Click an event and select "View Registrations" to see:

• All registered attendees with contact information
• Attendance status (registered, checked in, no-show)
• Option to manually check in attendees
• Option to export the list as CSV or PDF
• Capacity utilization at a glance

Statistics

Each event displays basic statistics: total registered, number checked in, and remaining capacity. Use this data to determine if you need to open additional sessions or expand the venue.

Editing & Deleting Events

As a staff member or administrator, you can edit any event by clicking it and selecting "Edit." Change any detail, then save. For recurring events, you'll choose to update this occurrence only or the entire series. To delete an event, click "Delete" and confirm. Again, for series, specify whether to delete just one or the entire series.

Next Steps: Visit the Calendar for a visual view, or go to Service Planning to prepare upcoming Sunday services.
