This article will show you how to set your church address and add any additional campuses, which can each have their own address and time zone.
Important
You must be an organization administrator to access this page. If you are not an organization administrator, you can request access on the People Page or contact your church directly.
To add a church campus, go to the Church Campuses tab on the Organization page.
Select Add a Church Campus if you are adding your first campus or Add Another Church Campus if you already have at least one campus.
Caution
Planning Center does not limit the number of campuses you can have, but if you're adding a campus for the Check-ins Mobile Pass, remember that each Apple Pass can only hold up to 10 addresses.
The campus information you add is used to organize people, events, and features throughout other Planning Center products and provide important information to people using the Church Center app.
Notice
If you subscribe to Planning Center Publishing, you can edit the campus names, visibility on Church Center, and locations in the account settings. All other campus details will be managed from within Publishing.
-
If you have more than one campus, you can use a name for each campus that identifies the campus location. If you don't name your campus, it will be named after the city. The campus name is shown in features throughout Planning Center, like when assigning campuses to folders in Services or in People forms.
-
Check if you want the campus information to be available in the Church Center app.
Notice
If you don't see this checkbox, the Church Center app must be enabled first.
-
Add the campus address and time zone. The time zone is used for the Master Calendar in Services.
-
Choose the Geolocation setting.
-
When Geolocation is set to Use address, the address is used to determine the location for Mobile Passes to Check-Ins users and for users of the Church Center app to find churches near their location.
-
If the geolocation service doesn't bring up your mobile passes or church in Church Center, you can choose Use coordinates from the Geolocation dropdown and enter the coordinates for your church location manually. You can find your latitude and longitude coordinates on Google Maps.
-
Once you've added a campus, you can edit any information that has changed by clicking the pencil to the right of the campus.
After making all your changes, select Save at the bottom of the page.
Notice
If you are subscribed to Planning Center Publishing, there will be one Church Center home page for your church. Additional custom pages can optionally be created for each campus.
If you've chosen to display campus information in the Church Center app, the church and campus name, campus address, and church website will be displayed when someone selects your church in the app.
After logging in, the person will see the campus name, description, and service times on the Home tab, along with icons that members can use to call or email the church or get directions.
Notice
See the Setting Up Church Center for more information on enabling the Church Center app for your congregation.
