Product · Portal

Events and activities across the entire region – publicly visible in one place.

Church districts, deaneries, dioceses and regional churches want to show what is happening in their parishes. The ChurchDesk portal collects all events and church services in the region centrally – and displays them on websites, in newsletters and to third parties without creating additional work for the parishes.

What it does

A window into the life of your entire region.

What happens in parishes is often only visible locally. The portal brings together the region's events and news in one place: findable for people, without additional effort for the parish, controllable for the diocese and regional church.

  • For the member

    All church services, concerts and offers in the region at a glance – even beyond your own parish.

  • For the parish

    No additional effort: Existing appointments are added to regional categories with one click without having to be created again.

  • For the diocese and regional church

    Central public relations work for church districts, deaneries, dioceses and regional churches – consistently and in real time.

Fed from the calendars of your parishes – without duplicate maintenance.

The portal is not a separate editorial channel: it pulls the appointments directly from the parishes' ChurchDesk calendars. What is once in the parish calendar can be made regionally visible with one click – one shared data set instead of duplicate maintenance.

In this way, the public relations work of church districts, deaneries, dioceses and regional churches remains consistent without parishes recording appointments a second time.

Central database

All events in the region – collected and shared.

The portal presents the events of all connected parishes in a bundle. You create categories for events and news that your parishes fill with one click – thereby creating a complete overview of what is happening in the region.

  • Region at a glance: Church services, concerts and events from all parishes bundled together.
  • Own categories: For events and news that parishes can access with just one click.
  • Always up to date: Changes in the parishes appear automatically in the portal.

Share content across parishes

One click is enough – without creating the event twice.

Connect the event categories of your parishes to the portal or provide regional categories – such as “concerts in the region”. The categories are integrated directly into the parish calendars and can be added with one click without creating a second appointment.

  • Categories instead of duplication: Assign existing appointments to regional categories – without creating new ones.
  • In both directions: parishes provide appointments and take on regional offers.
  • Directly in the calendar: The assignment takes place in the usual ChurchDesk calendar.

Embed & export

Visible on websites, in the newsletter – and beyond.

You can integrate the region's events and news on your website and those of your parishes, as well as in the newsletter – everything is linked and updated in real time. You can also share events with third parties such as newspapers or tourism offices via an uncomplicated data export.

  • On all websites: Include regional dates on your pages and those of the municipalities.
  • In the newsletter: Add related events and articles with just a few clicks.
  • Export for third parties: Hand over events to newspapers and tourism offices – even outside of the church context.
