Locations

An overview on managing locations as part of your facilities in MinistryPlatform, including basic information and location fields.

  • A Location record tracks the physical location of an event.
  • You can create and edit Location records under Facilities > Locations.
  • Each campus or site has its own location. And a location might have multiple buildings.
  • Care Life also uses locations to manage where contacts may receive care (for example, a hospital or hospice facility).
  • Locations must have a street address.
    Tip: Want to show that events are off site without adding the actual address to MinistryPlatform? You can create a Location record with an address of "Offsite" with your city and state. Select this location on the Event record, then add the actual address to the Event description or instructions.
