Add an event to the church calendar

See also:

If you want to add a group event to your church's Calendar page, ask a Calendar administrator to share an event request form with your group type. You can use this form to request rooms or resources for your events, which helps avoid scheduling conflicts at your church.

Once the request form has been shared with your group type, you can open it from the event page in Groups. All group event details (date, time, location, etc.) are automatically copied into the event request form.

If your request is approved, your group event is added to your church's Calendar page as a connected event.

Tip

If you want your group leaders to fill out the event request form when they create events in Church Center, you can create a leader-only resource.
