How do I feature sermons, events, forms, and groups?

Describes how to feature sermons, events, forms, and groups in the mobile app, public portal and other listed areas.

You will need the write permission for the kind of record you are featuring:

You need it at one or more of the record's campuses. Changing Public Access settings needs Permissions Limited at that organization.

Featuring puts particular sermons, events, forms and groups in a special area at the top of their listing in the My One Church App. On the public portal and within the main system, featured records are listed first, before the others.


Feature a record

  1. Open the sermon, event, form or group.

  2. In the Share box in the upper right, turn on Featured?

  3. On sermons, groups and events the change takes effect straight away. On forms, save the form.

The Share box on a record with the Featured? toggle.

Note: The record must be publicly visible to be featured. If you cannot see the Share box, the record is not public yet.


What members see

In the mobile app, a featured record shows at the very top of its listing in a horizontal carousel. If a member applies a filter, the featured section is hidden and the filtered results include featured records too.

If a repeating event is featured, the next upcoming occurrence is shown at the top, and this updates automatically as each occurrence passes. The other occurrences always show in the main listing.

If your account has more than one organization

Under an organization, the app lists that organization's events, groups, sermons and forms, plus those available to All. The featured events on the home screen follow the same rule, so a member sees featured records from the organization they are viewing and from All.

The public site works the same way: a listing shows the organization's records plus records available to All.

Warning: The organization only decides what a listing shows. It does not keep a record private. Published records are public to anyone at your account's address.


Public Access settings

Public Access settings, including listing titles, images, field choices and visibility, are kept per organization and fall back to the default organization's. The first time you save them for an organization, it copies the default organization's settings.

  • Changing Public Access needs Permissions Limited at that organization. Archived organizations are refused.

  • The Mobile App switch that each Public Access module used to have has been removed. Sermons, events, forms and groups can no longer be hidden from the app with it.
