Events & Attendance

Create any type of event — Sunday service, midweek prayer, youth meeting, special programme, outreach — with a date, time, location, and description. All events appear on the shared calendar so staff, leaders, and ministry coordinators see what is coming without asking anyone.

Sunday service happens every week; midweek prayer happens every Wednesday. Define a recurring pattern once and Faith360 generates the instances automatically, saving staff from creating the same event fifty-two times a year. Exceptions — a cancelled service, a changed venue — are handled on the individual instance without touching the template.

For events with limited capacity or where a headcount matters in advance — conferences, retreats, seminars — enable registration and share a link. Members register themselves; staff see the list grow in real time and close registrations when full. Confirmation notifications go out automatically.

On the day of the event, staff or volunteers use the check-in tool to mark members present as they arrive — by search, by scanning a QR code, or by working through the registration list. The running total updates live so leaders always know how many are in the room.

Attendance counts accumulate into a history that leadership can review by period, event type, or service. Trends over months and years answer the questions that matter — is the congregation growing, which programmes draw the most engagement, and are key members showing up consistently.

Children’s ministry check-in is handled with care: children are linked to their household, a guardian must check them out, and the record shows who collected each child. The process is fast enough for a busy Sunday morning and accountable enough for safeguarding requirements.
