Sync Group Events Created in Groups

Use this guide when an event created in Planning Center Groups is missing from your Display.Church calendar.

1. Make the event available in Planning Center Calendar

A connection links related records; it does not automatically copy Groups events into Calendar. For automatic syncing, use a Groups feed.

1. Ask a Planning Center organization administrator to open Calendar → Events.
2. Open the settings gear, select Feeds, then Groups feeds.
3. Enable Groups feeds and choose the group types to sync.
4. Review each group type’s event owner, destination calendar, Church Center availability and tags.
5. Confirm the expected event appears in Calendar. Feeds copy current and future events one way from Groups; they do not send Calendar events back to Groups.

For current settings, see Planning Center’s Groups feed instructions. Disabling a feed deletes its associated Calendar events, so do not toggle it off as a troubleshooting reset.

2. Check the Display.Church calendar

Once the event is available in Planning Center Calendar, review your Display.Church widget’s Setup filters. Check whether group-specific events are included and whether the selected groups and other filters allow this event.

See Planning Center integration and filtering options for the available controls.

Connections are different

If you only want to link an individual Calendar event to a group, follow Planning Center’s connection instructions. That link alone will not sync the group’s events.
