Events and news from across the deanery in one place
What happens in your parishes often stays visible only locally. The ChurchDesk Portal gathers services, concerts and events from every parish in the deanery in one place, and shows them on websites, in newsletters and to partners such as the local paper. The events come straight from the parish calendars: no double entry, no extra work for parishes.
A window into the life of your deanery
The Portal brings the events and news of your area together in one place – easy for people to find, with no extra work for parishes.
For churchgoers and visitors
Every service, concert and activity in the area at a glance – beyond their own parish too.
For parishes
Existing events are added to a deanery category with one click, without being created again.
For the deanery
Shared communications for the whole area, always up to date.
Every event in the deanery – gathered and shared
The Portal shows the events of all connected parishes together. You set up categories for events and news, such as church music, families, youth or pilgrimages. Parishes add their events to them with one click. The result is a complete overview of what is happening across the deanery.
- The deanery at a glance: services, concerts and events from every parish together
- Your own categories for events and news, which parishes fill with one click
- Always current: changes made in the parishes appear in the Portal automatically
One click – without entering the event twice
Connect your parishes' event categories to the Portal, or offer shared categories such as "Concerts in the deanery". The categories appear directly in each parish's usual ChurchDesk calendar. One click assigns an existing event; no second entry is created.
- Categories instead of duplication: assign existing events without recreating them
- Both ways: parishes share their events and take up events from across the deanery
- Right in the calendar: assigning happens where parishes already work
On websites, in newsletters – and beyond
Show the deanery's events and news on your own website and on the parish websites, and in your newsletter. Everything is linked and updates itself. A simple export also lets you pass events on to the local paper or the tourist information centre.
- On every website: deanery events on your site and on the parish sites
- In the newsletter: add linked events and posts in a few clicks
- Export for partners: share events with the local paper and tourist office
