How to Add an Event to Kingdom Connect

The Kingdom Connect events system supports a wide range of event formats — from a single Sunday service to a month-long weekly series or a multi-day conference with individual sessions. This guide covers every option available so you can present your event accurately.

Step 1 — Basic Information

Event Name is required. This is the title that will appear on event listings and search results.

Category — Choose the category that best describes your event (e.g. Worship, Outreach, Conference). If none of the listed categories apply, select Other and a text field will appear where you can suggest a new category. This helps the team improve the categorisation options over time.

Description — Write a clear and engaging description using the formatting toolbar. Include what the event is, who it is for, and any key details a visitor might need to know before attending.

Main Image — Upload an image to represent your event. A strong, clear image helps your event stand out in listings. Images are automatically compressed and do not need to be resized before uploading.

Step 2 — Location

Choose one of three location options:

Manual Address — Type the venue address in the search field. Once a match is found, a map will appear and you can drag the pin to fine-tune the exact position. The address and coordinates will be saved automatically.

At a Church — If your event is taking place at a church already listed on Kingdom Connect, select it from the dropdown. The address and coordinates will be filled in automatically, saving you the manual entry.

At a Retreat Space — If your event is taking place at a Kingdom Connect-listed retreat space, select it here. The address and coordinates will be imported from the space's listing.

A confirmed location is required to proceed.

Step 3 — Dates and Times

Select the event type that best fits your event. There are three options:

Option A: Single Event

Use this for a one-off event that happens on a single day or across a short continuous period.

If it is an all-day event, tick the "All Day" checkbox. You will only need to provide start and end dates, without specific times.
For timed events, provide both a start date and time and an end date and time. The end must be the same as or after the start.

Option B: Recurring Event

Use this for events that repeat on a regular pattern — for example, a weekly prayer meeting, a monthly breakfast, or a daily devotional gathering.

Frequency — Choose Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
Interval — Set how often the event repeats within that frequency. For example, an interval of 2 on a Weekly pattern means the event repeats every 2 weeks.
Weekly pattern — Select which days of the week the event occurs. You can select multiple days (e.g. Tuesday and Thursday).
Monthly pattern — Choose either a fixed day of the month (e.g. the 15th) or a relative day (e.g. the first Monday or the last Friday of each month).
Start Time and End Time are required for recurring events.
End Date — Optionally specify when the recurrence stops. If left blank, the event will be listed as ongoing with no end date.
A preview of the next five occurrences is shown automatically so you can confirm the pattern before saving.

Advanced Recurrence Wizard — If you need to create a more complex pattern, click the Advanced button to open the Recurrence Wizard. This allows you to build a custom RRULE and review the raw recurrence rule before applying it.

Option C: Series (Multiple Sessions)

Use this for events that have several distinct sessions — for example, a three-day conference with morning and evening meetings, or a weekly course spread over several weeks where each session has its own title and agenda.

Click Add Session to add each session individually.
Each session can have its own title, start date and time, optional end date and time, optional location (if a session is at a different venue), and an optional description.
Use the quick presets (Morning, Evening, Midweek) to pre-fill common time patterns and speed up entry.
Sessions are listed in the order added. You can remove any session individually using the remove button beside it.
There is no limit on the number of sessions.

Step 4 — Options and Additional Details

All fields in this step are optional but can significantly improve your event's visibility and usefulness.

Capacity — If places are limited, enter the maximum number of attendees. This is displayed on the event page to help people know whether spaces might fill up.
Virtual Event — Tick this if the event is held online (or has an online element). A Virtual URL field will appear — enter the link to the stream, Zoom call, or online meeting room.
Organiser Name — The name or organisation hosting the event. This appears on the event page.
Organiser Email — A contact email for enquiries. Use the Display on page toggle to decide whether this is shown publicly.
Organiser Phone — A contact phone number. Use the toggle to choose whether it is shown on the page.
External Website — If the event has its own website or a dedicated page elsewhere, add the URL here.
Ticket URL — If tickets are available via Eventbrite, Tickets.com, or another booking platform, paste the link here. This will display a Get Tickets button on your event page.

After Submission

Your event is submitted for review. Once approved by the Kingdom Connect team, it will appear in event listings and on the map. You will receive an email confirmation when it is live.

You can edit or update your event at any time from your account. If your event is cancelled, please update or remove the listing promptly so that attendees are not misled.
