How do I get started?
Sign up at events.bible.com with a free YouVersion account to create your own Events to appear in the Bible App. Learn more here.
Does it cost anything to use Events?
No, the Bible App always has and will be free. Events are an integral part of the Bible App.
Can the administrator of an Event track who or how many people use an event?
No, at this time there is not a way to track either users or the number of users.
Can I edit my Event after publishing it?
Once an Event is published it can’t be edited nor deleted. Published events that are not yet Live still can be unpublished. Go into the Event Editor, Edit the event, and select the unpublish button on the top right corner of the page.
Can I change the time zone on my Event?
The time zone is automatically set once you enter the location of your Event.
When I publish an Event, when does it become visible on the App?
Your event will be visible in the Bible App Event location and search results 5 days before your earliest start time.
Why can’t people find an Event on the Bible App?
Events are visible before and while they are live. Once an Event has ended, it will no longer be visible unless it was saved beforehand. Encourage people to save the Event before it ends if they wish to access it later.
If someone can’t find your Event:
- Make sure location services are enabled on their device. Location must be turned on for the Bible App to show nearby Events.
- You can also share the Event link with them directly to ensure they can access it.
Are Events connected to my Church profile?
At this time, Events are not connected to your Church profile.
