Helpful hints for Cedar Springs' online registration for events

Cedar Springs recently began offering members and website visitors an exciting new way to register for certain events. Online Registrations allows persons to register for events and activities and to also pay a registration fee (if required), all from the comfort of your computer.

To take advantage of online registrations through the CSPC website, follow these steps:

1. Click the link for your particular event. On the CSPC website, a link will be provided for each event that offers online registration. Look in the “Latest News” section or the individual ministry section for the “Click Here for Online Registration” link.

2. Login or Create an Account. If this is your first time registering online for an event at CSPC, click the “Create an Account” button that appears on the right side of the screen. You will then fill out an online form. Certain parts of this form will be required, and those field will be marked with an asterisk (*). Some information that is required is for verification purposes in case you forget your password and need to obtain it. Once you fill in this form and click “Create your account”, it will take you directly to the Registration area.

3. Select your name for registering or add your family members to your household for registering. From the Registration screen, you can click the green “Select” button next to your name or add your family members’ names so you may register them for an event. Once you click the green “Select” button, it will then take you through the registration process.

4. Register for the event and checkout. Once you complete entering the registration information in the “Questions” section, you will then go to the “Checkout” area. From here, if a payment is required, you will be able to pay for the event with a credit card. The payments are processed through a secure website, and the security can be verified.

Once the registration is completed, you will receive a confirmation email with important information regarding the event.

If you have any questions regarding creating an account or registering for an event, feel free to contact Katie Smith at (865) 291-5264 or katiesmith@cspc.net.
