Creating a New Event

Creating a New Event



From Sunday services to small group meetings and community outreach, your church's events are a key part of your ministry. EvangelOS makes it simple to create, manage, and track all your events in one place.

Two Easy Ways to Create a New Event

You can create a new event from two main places:

Method 1: From Your Dashboard (The Quickest Way) If you're just logging in, the "Quick Actions" widget on your main Dashboard is the fastest way to start.

  1. Navigate to your Dashboard.

  2. In the "Quick Actions" widget, click the "Create a New Event" button.

  3. This will open the new event form directly.

Method 2: From the Events Page You can also create an event from the main "Events" page, which is helpful when you're already managing your calendar.

  1. Click on "Events" in the main navigation menu on the left.

  2. On the Events page, look for the "Create Event" or "New" button (usually in the top-right corner).

  3. This will also open the new event form.

Filling Out the Event Form

The event form is a simple, step-by-step guide to setting up your event. Here are the key details you'll be asked to fill in:

  • Event Name: What is this event called? (e.g., "Sunday Worship Service," "Youth Group - Fall Retreat")

  • Date and Time: When is the event? You can set a start and end time, and you can also make it a repeating event (e.g., "Repeats every Sunday").

  • Location: Where is it happening? You can add a physical address or note if it's an online event.

  • Registration (Optional): You can choose to enable registration for your event. This allows you to track who is coming, set a capacity limit, and ask custom questions.

  • Check-In (Optional): You can enable check-in for the event, which is essential for children's ministry or for tracking attendance at any event.

Once you have filled in the details, click "Save" or "Create." Your new event is now live and will appear on your main events calendar.

What's Next?

After you save your event, you'll be taken to its Event Profile. This is your command center for managing everything related to this specific event, including seeing who has registered, managing check-ins, and scheduling volunteers.

Our next guide, "Understanding the Event Profile," will give you a full tour of that page.
