Set up a gospel meeting page

Your template comes with a page for a gospel meeting or any special series. It starts off, so visitors cannot see it until you are ready. In the panel it is called Gospel Meeting. Its address is your site’s address followed by /special-series.

What is on the page

• A large top section with the meeting’s title, your address and the dates.
• A short description of the meeting.
• Guest Speaker, a few lines about the preacher.
• Meeting Schedule, one row for each lesson, with its day, title and time.
• Our Location, with your address from Church info, a photo and a map.

Fill it in

1. In the panel on the left, under Pages, click Gospel Meeting. It shows DRAFT beside its name.
2. Click the title, the dates and the description, and type your own. See Change the words on a page.
3. Click the speaker’s name in Guest Speaker: Sample Speaker and the words about him. Type your own.
4. Click a lesson in Meeting Schedule. The Edit schedule item window opens.
5. Type the Month (e.g. JAN), the Day, the Title and the Time. Click Save.
6. Do the same for each lesson.
7. To add a lesson, click + Add a schedule item, fill in the boxes, and click Add. To remove one, click the × at its corner.
8. Click a photo to change it. See Change a photo.

Publish stops while the page still shows the sample guest speaker, the sample dates, January 26-29, 2025, or the sample lesson days, JAN 26 to JAN 29.

Use it for any series

The page works for a lectureship, a youth rally or any series. To rename it:

Turn it on and add it to your menu

1. Under Pages, click the gear beside the page. Page settings opens.
2. Switch Page published on.
3. Click Save. Turning a page on does not add it to your menu.
4. In the panel on the left, under Your website, click Menus.
5. Click Header menu, then click + Add menu item.
6. Type a label, like Gospel Meeting. Choose Page: Gospel Meeting for its link, or the new name if you renamed the page.
7. Click Done. See Change your menus.

Want a ribbon across the top of every page that points to it? See Link the banner to your event page.

To run two meetings at once, click Add a page and choose Prebuilt: Gospel Meeting in Start from. See Add a page.

After the meeting

1. If the banner points to this page, switch the banner off first. See Add a banner across the top.
2. Click the gear beside the page. Switch Page published off and click Save.
3. Click Publish.

The page leaves your live site and your menus. It stays in the builder, ready for the next meeting.

If it does not work

• Publish says a section still shows the sample guest speaker: Click the speaker’s name and the words about him, and type your own.
• Publish says the gospel meeting’s sample dates or sample days are still on the page: Click the dates in the top section and type your own. Click each lesson and change its month, day and time.
• Publish says pages you turned off are still linked: A menu item, button or the banner still points to the page. Remove that link, or switch the page back on.
