Ministries

Ministries («Angebote») organise what happens in your church, for example “Service”, “Youth”, “Sunday Night” or a house group. Every event belongs to a ministry. People can follow ministries and then see their dates in the app.

Creating a ministry (church admins)

1. Open Ministries and click New ministry («Neues Angebot»).
2. Fill in:
   • Name, for example “Sunday Night”, “Youth”, “Alphalive”
   • Type («Art»): service, area, age group, small group or other
   • Belongs to («Gehört zu», optional): for sub-ministries, for example “Teens” under “Youth”
   • Description
   • Leader («Leitung»): every new ministry needs a leader, either a person from the team or invited by email address. The invitation is valid for 7 days.
3. Save.

If a ministry later has no leader, the list shows Leader missing («Leitung fehlt»).

A ministry in the portal

When you open a ministry, there are these tabs depending on your role:

Tab	Content	Who
Dates («Termine»)	RSVPs per week, events and services, upcoming dates	everyone with a role
Details	details, images, access, delete ministry	leaders, admins
Followers («Follower»)	approve requests and manage followers	leaders, edit, admins; only for ministries with approval
Team	people with a role, invitations	leaders, admins
Log («Protokoll»)	who changed what in this ministry	leaders, admins

Images

• Logo: square, at least 1024 px. Appears in the list of ministries and at the edge of the cover image.
• Cover image: wide (3:1), at least 1920 px wide. It is also the image of this ministry’s events that have none of their own.

Access

Under Details → Access («Zugang») you decide who sees the ministry and how people follow: public, church people only, or hidden with an access code, with or without approval. This is explained on its own page: Members and access.

Deleting

Delete ministry only works when the ministry has no events left. Sub-ministries are deleted with it.
