How-to guides
How to create an event people can register for
Set up a church event with a sign-up link you can share by email, bulletin, or QR code.
Before you begin
- Events module enabled
Step-by-step
Open Events
Click Events in the left sidebar.
Create event
Click Create Event. Enter the event name, date, start/end time, and location.
Add description and image
Write a short description (what, who it is for, what to bring). Add a cover photo if you have one.
Turn on registration
Set registration to Open so anyone with the link can sign up. Add custom questions if needed (meal choice, child names, etc.).
Publish the public page
Save and publish. Copy the event link or QR code.
Share the link
Put the link in your bulletin, email, Church Hub, and slides. Registrations appear on the event page for you to export.
Tips
- Send a reminder email the day before from Communications.
- Export the attendee list to CSV for nametags or catering counts.
