Getting Started with Registrations


With Registrations, you can create an event and give your people the opportunity to register/sign up for it. These could include Youth Camps, VBS, Festivals, Potlucks, and other events your ministry will be hosting.

Enabling Registrations

To allow people to register for an event, and determine who can register, select the “Setup Registrations for this Event” button in the Registrations tab of the Edit Event menu.

Who Can Register for Events

ChurchTrac gives you the option to enable registrations for Anyone or limit it to Connect Members. Learn more about Who Can Register for Events ›

  1. Enable Registration for Anyone

    This allows anyone to register, even if they don’t have an account in Church Connect or are not members of your organization. We will automatically add fields to the registration form asking for the person’s name and email address.

  2. Enable Registration for Connect Users

    This restricts who can register for an event to only those with an account on your Church Connect app. If a member of your church or organization wants to register, they will first have to create an account in Church Connect and be logged in to that account as they proceed to register.

Enabling Registrations removes the option to make the event recurring. However, you can clone an event. To learn more, read our Cloning vs Recurring Events article.

Creating New Registrations

Choose a registration method based on how you want to track attendees at your event. Each one allows you to collect different information from your registrants.

A Single Registration collects info on just the person registering, a Count Registration collects a total number of people attending, and the Detailed Registration collects additional info on each attendee. Learn more about Creating New Registrations ›

Attendee Types & Cost

With Registrations, you can specify different types of attendees for an event and also designate the costs associated with those attendees. For example, let's say you're hosting a mid-week dinner. In this case, we have an Adult and Child Attendee Type with different costs for each. Learn More about Attendee Types and Cost ›
