Product · Calendar
Events, rooms and duties – centrally planned, up to date everywhere.
The calendar is the hub of administration: events, rooms, resources and duties come together in one place and automatically feed the website, newsletter and roster. This means your parishes work with a reliable schedule – instead of with Excel lists, notices and separate calendars.
What it does
The calendar is the hub of your administration.
With many individually managed calendars – in Excel, on notice boards, in private mailboxes – chaos quickly arises: double bookings, outdated times, duplicate maintenance. ChurchDesk brings together events, rooms and duties in one place and automatically feeds them into the other modules.
For the member
Reliable times and locations: Church services and events are accurate everywhere – on the website, in the newsletter and in the church app – because they come from one source.
For the parish
One calendar instead of many lists: Events, rooms and duties come together in one place and automatically create website entries, rosters and notices.
For the diocese and regional church
Connection to your external calendar services: Via interfaces to regional church and diocesan external calendar services, events remain consistent across the parish – without duplicate maintenance.
One event – updated across the entire platform.
The calendar is not an isolated program, but the hub of your ChurchDesk platform: What is once in the event appears on the website, in the newsletter, in the roster and in the church app – one shared data set instead of duplicate maintenance.
This means your parishes work on one system, with a registration and a calendar that dioceses and regional churches can set up and support centrally.

A calendar for everyone
All parish events in one place – always up to date.
Instead of many separate calendars, all of the parish's events come together in one calendar: synchronised in real time on all devices and visible to those authorised at any time. This means there is a reliable source that everyone relies on.
- A reliable source: Church services, meetings and events are in one place – not in Excel, notice boards and private calendars.
- Always up to date: Changes are immediately visible on all devices and in the other modules.
- Visible to the right people: Everyone sees exactly the calendars that are needed in everyday life.
Duty scheduling
The roster is created from the calendar – not in a second list.
Duties such as preaching, playing the organ, taking the collection or reading are assigned directly on the date. The complete roster of each group maintains itself from this.
- Duties assigned to the event: Who takes on which service depends on the service – not on a separate table.
- Notices at the push of a button: rosters and service schedules are created with just a few clicks and can be exported.
- Overview in the app: Employees and volunteers can see their services on their smartphone at any time.
Rooms, resources & requests
Rooms and resources come together in the event – also for enquiries from outside.
Rooms and equipment are booked directly on the event and blocked for the period – double bookings are noticed immediately. For external concerns such as room rental or funeral enquiries, your parishes create their own enquiry pages and control the path from enquiry to confirmation.
- No double bookings: A booked room is blocked for the duration of the event.
- Resources on the date: From the organ to the projector, everything depends on the same entry.
- Booking requests from outside: Individual request pages with clearly defined rooms and people.
