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. Each of your campuses, parishes, or sites should have its own location. A location might have multiple buildings. 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.
Care Connect also uses locations to manage where contacts may receive care (for example, a hospital or hospice facility).
You can create and edit Location records under .
