The Events module in ChurchTools is responsible for planning events and church services. To ensure that the right people are on stage on Sunday, you can manage the service planning here. To do this, you have already entered the people in the Persons module in the respective service groups as employees. You can now use these groups as a data source in the Events module. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide explains the steps you need to take to be able to use all service groups in the Events module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roles and Role categories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, let’s clarify the terms Roles<\/em> and Ro<\/a>le categories<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Role<\/strong> – A role in ChurchTools is a function in an event. For example, sermon<\/em> is a role that can be filled or musicians<\/em>. All roles are maintained in the Events module in the master data. A role can be linked to one or more groups from the Groups module. This allows people from the groups to be selected as suggestions when planning services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Role categories<\/strong> – A Role category in the Events module is a collection of several roles. For example, the roles service leadership<\/em> and sermon<\/em> are combined in the role categories Program<\/em>. This creates clarity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
