Create an Event

Manually Create an Event

This is the recommended way to make an event due to the complexity of our organization. Any field not covered in this instruction is not required for making a basic event.

To make an event that requires a Registration that requires payment or needs to collect additional information (Food allergies, childcare info, etc), contact MP Support

To add a room reservation, follow these steps after creating your event.

1. Click "Events"

2. Click "+"

3. Give your event a Title

4. Set the Event Type to the appropriate type

5. Set the congregation HOSTING the event

6. Set the Location where the event is taking place

(This does NOT have to be the same as the Congregation)

7. Add an event description

8. Set the Program (ministry) hosting the event

9. Set a Primary Contact for the event

10. If you are making a Registration, the Participants Expected field will limit how many people can sign up for your event.

This field is not needed if you are not having attendees register.

11. While not required as of 5/2025, this field add additional time to the beginning of a room reservation connected to your event

12. Set the date/time of the event as the Event Start Date

13. Set the date/time the event will end as the Event End Date

14. While not required as of 5/2025, this field add additional time to the end of a room reservation connected to your event

15. This field is ONLY to be used for worship services.

Just because your event is Christmas-Themed does not mean it needs a Holiday designation.

16. Set the Visibility Level.
Click "4 - Public" to have the event show on the website

Click "5 - Hidden: URL Required" to make the event hidden (For more info go tohttps://mpsupport.northway.org/help/article/325693)

Click "2 - Staff Only" to make an event for the internal calendar that should NOT be seen by congregants (meetings, etc)

17. Set Show on Web to "Yes" if you want your event to be on the website.

18. If your event belongs to a specific ministry, use the Event Website Designation field to set that ministry.
Click here.
Click "Test"

19. Click here.
