From Sunday services to community outreach, EvangelOS makes it simple to create and manage all your church events in one place.
You can start a new event from two places:
From the Dashboard: Click Create Event in the Quick Actions section.
From the Events page: Go to Events in the left sidebar, then click New Event in the top-right corner.
Both open the same event form, which is organized into three tabs: Details, Settings, and Recurring.
The Details tab is where you define the core information about the event:
Event Title: The name of the event as it will appear throughout EvangelOS.
Description: A summary of the event for attendees and staff.
Start Date / End Date: The date and time range for the event.
Location Name: A free-text field for the venue name or address (e.g., "Main Sanctuary," "Fellowship Hall," "123 Main St").
Check-In Locations: Assign Kids Check-In rooms to this event. These are the rooms configured under Settings → Locations with capacity and age/grade ranges.
Event Type: Categorize the type of event (e.g., Worship, Outreach, Training).
Category: A secondary classification for organizing events.
Organizer: The staff member or team responsible for this event.
Group: Link this event to a specific group (e.g., a small group or ministry team).
The Settings tab controls visibility and registration options:
Event Visibility: Choose who can see the event (e.g., public, members only).
Max Attendees: Set a capacity limit. Registration will close automatically when the limit is reached.
Registration Required: Toggle on to require attendees to register in advance.
Registration Deadline: Set a cutoff date after which registration closes.
Event Price: If the event has a cost, enter it here to enable paid registration via Stripe.
Allow Waitlist: Toggle on to let people join a waitlist after the event reaches capacity.
Use the Recurring tab to set up repeating events. Define the recurrence pattern (daily, weekly, monthly) and the end date or number of occurrences. This is ideal for weekly services, small group meetings, or any regularly scheduled gathering.
After saving your event, you'll be taken to the Event Profile — your command center for managing registrations, check-ins, volunteers, and event communications. See Understanding the Event Profile for a full walkthrough.
