In order for an Event to appear on the Event Calendar, most churches require the Event to be approved. Your MinistryPlatform system came installed with an Event Approval Process to handle the Event approval workflow each time a new Event is created; specifically:

• When an Event is created that has a start date in the future, the user who created the Event must submit the Event (a "Submit" button appears at the top of the Event record upon saving).
• The designated approver of Events then reviews and, as appropriate, approves the Event.
• Upon approval, the Event record is updated to Approved=TRUE and, provided the other online display settings are set accordingly, the Event appears on the Event Calendar.
