The Event Finder widget shows events that are available online, sorted by date (soonest to latest). All available online events that occur in the next 120 days display, and featured events display if they occur in the next 360 days. See the Event Finder widget in action on Widget Church's Events page!

• Featured events display a Featured badge.
• You can pre-filter the Event Finder by search criteria when it is embedded in a page. Available event filters include:
  • Congregation
  • Keyword(s)
  • Month(s)
  • Ministry
  • Sign-up type
  • Featured
  • Program
• The Event Finder uses the COMMON, GlobalCongregationID configuration setting, so you can set up a church-wide congregation to share events between campuses or parishes.
• Keyword search looks for a match in the event title name, event description, program name, and/or ministry name.
• You can pre-filter the widget URL by specific search criteria. For example, you only want to show events occurring in December or only show certain Event Types.
• You can limit the number of occurrences people see for an event series. For example, you only want to show the next three weekly Bible Study meetings for the rest of the year.
• Anyone can see events with the Visibility field set to 4- Public. Events with 2- Staff Only visibility only display for people that are logged in who have at least one current group participant record with Employee Role set to Yes.
• If an image is attached to the event record, it displays in the widget. If there is no image, a stock image shows instead. See Configuring Event Finder for additional information about images.
