Case Study: Woodlands Church achieves recurring event management with CiviCRM

Woodlands Church automates 35+ weekly events with CiviCRM

Woodlands Church, a UK-based organization, faced a significant challenge with its CiviCRM implementation: the platform lacked the functionality to manage recurring events. This was a major obstacle as the church runs numerous weekly courses, classes, and groups, making manual scheduling and tracking overly cumbersome.

The solution was achieved through CiviCRM's Make It Happen program, which resulted in the development of a new recurring events engine. This new core functionality, scheduled for release in CiviCRM 4.6, allows organizations to schedule multiple events, activities, and potentially volunteer slots in one go. For Woodlands Church and the wider CiviCRM community, this eliminates a previously manual and labor-intensive process, transforming how they manage their regular events and volunteer teams.
