Events and Meetings

One way that people can connect in your church community is through group events. You can set up events and meetings at the group level or an event at the ministry area level.

Suppose you want your group to meet once a month. In this case, you need to set up a meeting so that everyone in the group knows when and where to gather.

In addition to regular meetings, groups often hold other gatherings such as parties, picnics, etc., that might occur one time or are recurring events. Once you add these events, they can be edited by a group leader or user with permission.

You can also export group events for use in another calendar program. The event opens in your default scheduling application (like Microsoft Outlook) using an .ics file.

Finally, you can create and manage events for all groups within a ministry area. You can choose which groups have specific events, and create recurring events if needed.
