Creating a New Calendar
To make managing events for different ministries and teams easier, you can create multiple calendars in ChurchTrac, sync your Google Calendar, and set specific viewing settings to help focus on a specific ministry.
Creating a New Church Calendar
To create a new church calendar (or edit an existing calendar), select "Edit Calendars" in the Event screen's toolbar. Creating different calendars allows you to categorize your events. For example, you can assign all "Youth Events" to one calendar, and those events will be displayed on the master calendar on the Calendar Screen in the color you selected for that calendar. You can create multiple calendars, like a church calendar, a pastor's appointment calendar, or calendars for specific ministries. The permission level options control which calendar(s) each user level is allowed to view or edit.
Google Calendar in ChurchTrac
When creating a new calendar, you have the option to choose between creating a Database Calendar (default), or a Google Calendar.
A Google Calendar is a read-only feed from your Google calendar that is displayed in ChurchTrac. Events on Google calendars cannot be edited in ChurchTrac, nor are advanced options like Volunteer and Event Management available for Google calendars. Learn more ›
Pro Tips
All Calendars will show by default on the main calendar view. You can decide which calendars you want to show on this view by selecting the "Calendars" icon in the top right-hand corner of the calendar.
This will show a list of the available calendars with checkboxes next to them. Clicking the checkbox will toggle them on/off.
