No coding!
Create beautiful, embeddable calendars
for your Church Community
Builder™ account.
No coding required.
Works across multiple
website platforms.
Let's face it.
Bulletins, video announcements, social, emails, push notes, and texts are all useful ways to communicate what’s happening at your church, but do you offer a central events calendar displaying the latest, up-to-date information?
If you are already using the Church Community Builder™ software, you’re a step ahead with an inbuilt, public, event calendar that integrates with your groups and processes.
However, let’s face it. Using CCB’s web tools to display your events on your website doesn't look great, and it’s either all or nothing.
So you either
- hire a developer and spend hundreds of dollars on integrating with the CCB API;
- or you manually add and update events on your website weekly;
- or you just don't display any events.
Now, we have some great news for you. Get the best of both worlds with our new, easy-to-use, cloud-based project: the CCB.events platform.
CCB.events has done the work for you, so you don’t have to. Easily create beautiful, embeddable calendar views using your Church Community Builder™ events with this Integration. We have licensed the look and feel from one of the most popular calendaring systems, EventOn and integrated those views to work with any CCB account.

Real Clients
I can vouch for CCB.events as a great resource for your website. It should work on most websites because you just copy and paste a code.

Hey there - I got around to testing this and it seems to work fine for me. ...I’ve also implemented the new campus and group filtering. Very much awesome, man.

FAQ
Which integrations do you work with?
CCB.events is an approved, third-party, CCB integration. It allows you to take your public CCB events, edit them on our cloud-based app, and embed them on your website.
How to setup a CCB API user?
In order to create a sync between Church Community Builder (CCB) and CCB.events, you need to create an API user in your CCB account. You will need to have permission to do this. See full article.
CCB.events looks very similar to EventOn. Is it the same? Different? What’s happening?
CCB.events is licensing and integrating the visual components of EventOn—one of the most popular and well-supported calendar platforms. Many churches like this look and feel which is one of the reasons we chose it. Also, we decided not to reinvent the wheel. The EventOn platform has many things which work. We saw that we could build on that core look and feel, tweaking as needed for how our platform works.
Is this a WordPress plugin?
No, but it can work with WordPress websites. CCB.events is a cloud-based solution which you can embed on any WordPress page to give you greater flexibility and increased compatibility with other apps and platforms.
Why is there a $50 set-up fee? What is that about?
As we mentioned in a previous FAQ, CCB.events decided to focus on creating the integration, not the look and feel, so we don’t reinvent the wheel. Using the EventOn styling required a licensing agreement between EventOn and CCB.events. The $50 fee allows you to participate in that license and other fees involved with setting everything up.
What’s the difference between single and multiple domains? And what about sub-domains?
A single domain installation is on one website (one unique domain name). However, sub-domains such as test sites do not count as other domains.
Who is behind CCB.events?
CCB.events = a joint venture between The Beaverhead LTD and Fluid Ministry LLC.
Fluid Ministry, LLC are the creators behind other products including CCBChimp, CCBText, and now CCB.events.
How can I start using CCB.events?
There are three basic steps:
- Sign up and integrate your CCB account.
- Choose the calendar type you want. Customize the design.
- Embed the calendar on your website wherever you want it to be.
(The first time you do this, you will need to install the script in the header of your website.)
