Your church online, from inside the Bible App

Woman looking at Events on phone

Have you used YouVersion Events inside the Bible App lately? When we built Events, we wanted to provide a way for church attenders to follow along with the message, engage with Scripture, take notes, and even save their own personalized copy for future reference. And Events can even recommend church services that are in your area.

But with so many churches shifting their services online, how can Events still help?

Church leaders, use Events to link to your online service.

Since Events admins can add various types of modules, we make it easy to add a link directly to online services—whether hosted on Facebook, YouTube, or even the free Church Online Platform.

Here’s how:

Go to events.bible.com and sign in with your YouVersion account (we recommend setting up a separate account for your church from your personal account).

Details

Next, click “Create New Event” or edit an existing one. If setting up a new Event, enter your Event Name (we recommend the title of your current sermon), your church name, and a brief description of your church. You can even add an optional logo or image.

Locations & Times

Enter your church’s normal meeting location for the purpose of helping people in your area easily find your Event. Then, add the time(s) that you normally meet and want the Event to be visible in the Bible App.

Content

Now you can create your Event with very customizable content modules.

During this time we strongly encourage you to start with an “External Link” module that directs people to your online message.

For example:

Link Label: This Week’s Message

Body: Tap to watch this week’s message then come back to take and save notes.

URL: <Paste a direct link to your online message video>

Events on phone

You then can add other modules if you’d like, including Text, Bible Reference, Bible Plan, Image, Giving Link, Announcements or even other External Links.

Preview, Publish, and Share

Now you can preview your Event, publish it to the Bible App, and share the link with your community directly. And like all Events, your Event will show inside the Bible App to people in your area, giving them easy access to connect with your ministry, and engage with your online services.

…encourage you?

“I was reading through the Psalms on my phone. I asked my husband if he minded if I read the chapter out loud in a couple of different translations. Since that day, we read a chapter or two together every night before we turn off the lights. It has totally changed the dynamics of our marriage.”

A Prayer for Our World

Earth

God, You alone are worthy of honor, glory, and praise. With You, we can overcome every storm—including the global impact COVID-19 is having on our world.

Right now, we are asking You to:

  • Heal those who are sick and protect those who are not.
  • Give our leaders extra wisdom as they navigate this pandemic and economic uncertainty.
  • Strengthen Your global Church. Reveal to us how we can partner together to reach the needs of those around us.
  • Calm our fears. Fill us with Your hope, joy, and peace as we continue to trust in You.
  • Use this pandemic to pave the way for spiritual renewal. We want Your glory, power, and healing to be on display.

Come, Lord Jesus, come.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
