Create an Event

Tap the + floating action button on the Events screen to open the create form.

Basic information​

  1. Title — e.g. "Sunday Celebration Service"
  2. Category — Service, Bible Study, Fellowship, Youth Event, Prayer Meeting, Outreach, Celebration, or Other
  3. Description — what the event is about (optional, up to 4 lines on screen)

Event banner​

Tap Add Event Banner to take a photo or pick one from the gallery. A 16:9 crop is applied on mobile and iOS; on Windows desktop the image is used as-is (no crop step). The banner shows on the event card and the detail screen.

Date and time​

  • All Day Event toggle — if on, time pickers are hidden and the event runs the full day
  • Starts — date and time
  • Ends — date and time
  • Repeat — None, Daily, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Monthly, Yearly
  • Repeat until — required if a recurring pattern is chosen (defaults to 90 days out)

Location​

Pick one of three location modes:

  • Physical — in-person only
  • Virtual — online only
  • Hybrid — both

Fields shown depend on the mode:

  • Venue Name (required for all modes) — e.g. "Main Sanctuary" or "Zoom"
  • Virtual Link — shown for Virtual and Hybrid
  • Country / State / City dropdowns — shown for Physical and Hybrid, with a Use My Location button that fills them from GPS
  • Address — free-text street address
  • Pick Venue on Map — opens an OpenStreetMap picker; drag the map to drop a pin. Reverse-geocoding fills the address and country/state/city fields when possible.

Settings​

  • Church Service (not available on global events) — mark this as an official service. When on, choose a Service Type: Sunday Service, Wednesday Service, Special Service, or Other.
  • Registration Required — when on, members can sign up. Reveals:
    • Max Attendees — blank means unlimited
    • Registration Fee — enter a decimal amount, or leave blank / 0 for a free event

Advanced settings​

Expandable section with:

  • Contact Person — the event coordinator's name
  • Contact Email
  • Contact Phone
  • Virtual Platform — Zoom, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Microsoft Teams, or Other (shown only when location is Virtual or Hybrid)
  • Payment Link — paste a Razorpay, UPI, or Stripe link. Members see this link when registering for paid events.

Global event scope​

If your plan includes Global Events and you're creating a new event (not editing), a Church Event / Global Event scope toggle shows at the top. Switching to Global Event:

  • Hides the Church Service toggle
  • Publishes the event to every church in the network
  • Uses a green accent on the submit button and a 🌍 prefix

Submit​

Hit Create Event (or Save Changes when editing). A short progress indicator runs while the event is saved and the banner is uploaded. On success, you're taken back to the Events list, which syncs and shows the new event.

Editing an event​

From the Events list, long-press an event and pick Edit Event. All fields pre-fill from the existing event. For global events, open them from Organized Global Events and long-press the card.
