Setting Up Additional Campuses

Wired Church supports multi-campus organizations out of the box. Whether you are launching a second location or managing a network of campuses, you can configure each campus with its own identity, service schedule, and leadership while keeping all your data unified under one organization.

This guide walks you through creating and configuring campuses in Wired Church.

Understanding the Campus Model

Every Wired Church organization starts with a primary campus. This is the default campus that all existing data is associated with. When you add additional campuses, you are extending your organization — not creating separate databases. All campuses share the same member directory, fund structure, and user accounts, but transactions like contributions, attendance, and events are tagged to a specific campus.

Creating a New Campus

Follow these steps to add a campus to your organization:

1. Navigate to Admin > Settings > Campuses from the admin sidebar.

The Primary Campus

Your first campus is automatically designated as the primary campus. The primary campus has special behavior:

• It is the default selection when creating new records (batches, events, attendance).
• New members are assigned to the primary campus unless specified otherwise.
• Online giving is attributed to the primary campus when a donor has no home campus set.
• Organization-wide settings and branding default to the primary campus values.

To change which campus is primary:

1. Go to Admin > Settings > Campuses.
2. Click the campus you want to make primary.
3. Toggle the Primary Campus switch to on.
4. Confirm the change when prompted.

Campus Codes in the System

The campus code you assign appears in several places throughout Wired Church:

• Contribution batch references — Batches are prefixed with the campus code (e.g., DFS-2026-0315-001).
• Attendance records — Service attendance is tagged by campus.
• Report headers — Filtered reports display the campus code in the title.
• Export filenames — CSV and PDF exports include the campus code.
• Event listings — Events show their campus location badge.

Campus-Specific Service Types

Each campus can define its own set of service types. This is important because campuses may have different worship schedules.

1. Navigate to Admin > Settings > Campuses and select the campus.
2. Scroll to the Service Types section.
3. Click Add Service Type and enter the name (e.g., "Sunday Morning Worship", "Wednesday Bible Study").
4. Set the default day and time for each service.
5. Drag to reorder if needed.
6. Click Save.

Campus Logos and Branding

While your organization shares a unified brand, each campus can have its own visual identity:

1. Open the campus settings by navigating to Admin > Settings > Campuses > [Campus Name].

2. Under the Branding section:

   • Upload a campus logo (recommended: 400x400px PNG with transparent background).
   • Set a campus accent color that appears in campus-specific views.
   • Add a short description that appears on the public campus page.

3. Click Save Changes.

Campus logos appear on:

• Contribution statements when filtered by campus.
• Email communications sent on behalf of a specific campus.
• The public website campus location cards.
• Digital signage displays assigned to a campus.

Practical Example

Here is how New Life Pentecostal Church configured their two campuses:

Primary Campus:

• Name: NLPC Enterprise
• Code: NLPC
• Address: Enterprise, AL
• Timezone: America/Chicago
• Services: Sunday School, Family Worship, Wednesday Worship

Second Campus:

• Name: DeFuniak Springs
• Code: DFS
• Address: DeFuniak Springs, FL
• Timezone: America/Chicago
• Services: Sunday Morning Worship, Wednesday Bible Study

Both campuses share the same member directory, contribution funds, and ministry groups. Attendance, batches, and events are tagged per campus so leadership can see campus-specific or consolidated views at any time.

Troubleshooting

I created a campus but it does not appear in dropdowns. Refresh your browser. Campus lists are cached for performance and update on page reload.

Can I delete a campus? You can deactivate a campus, which hides it from new record creation. Deleting a campus is only possible if no transactions are associated with it. Campuses with existing data can only be archived.

Can members belong to multiple campuses? Members have one home campus that determines their default association. However, they can attend services and events at any campus. Attendance is recorded at whichever campus the service occurs.
