  • Entering attendance

    I am new to F1 and working with the attendance process as my first assignment at our church. We do not use the automated check in process (hopefully we will in January) so everything is still done manually. We print rosters and use them for sign in and then to post attendance. An issue that we are having is that a new person may not fill out a new ...

  • Re: Champion Team meetings

    Put me on the request list for your structured Champion Team Meeting Agenda. you made it sound very invited as you noticed.  We are implementing F1 currently and we have held weekly CTM meetings with the agenda to do many things to prepare for our go live date.  I am very interested in keeping the meeting going but ...

  • भगवान भारत के लिए मुझे बुलाया ... अब क्या?

    (To Translate the title from Hindi to English click here) As the missions pastor, I have been praying to know where God wants us to go as a church to reach people.  Over the last few weeks he has been guiding me to India.  I was thinking Aruba or maybe the Virgin Islands but God seems to be pushing me more and more towards ...

  • This just in... Church of the Prim and Proper in Chaos!

  • I lost my receipt thingy.... NOW WHAT!?

    Last year I was attending a big church in Grapevine Texas.  One thing you never want to do when attending this church is lose your receipt.  They take your children's safety very seriously and they don’t mind making you wait to get that point across.  The good news is that once you move past the initial shock that they are not ...

  • What do I do with this 3 digit code?

    As a father of two, I still remember the first time that I dropped off my children in a Children’s Ministry when I was searching for a church home and a relationship with God.  I didn’t have a clue of how secure my children were in those back rooms.  During the worship service I was unsettled.  My mind was in those back rooms ...

  • Critical Information About Check-in

    Hello... Hello... Is this thing on? One benefit to Fellowship Technologies that you may or may not know is that Big Brother is watching.  No, this isn't the fictional character in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.  But rather our nerdy database team tucked away in a dark corner in a nondescript building at 5605 N ...

  • Swim Lane Documents: Contact Management 201

    In this blog entry I will be sharing something the delivery team has been working on.  (When we are not doing the Delivery side of our job) We have been documenting processes and putting them into a usable form. The document needed to be flexible because Fellowship One is very flexible and constantly improving how churches work ...

  • Using Group Manager for Care Ministries: A Case Study

    Recently I was working with CrossWinds church in Dublin CA and came across a situation I had seen in the past but did not have a great solution to meet their needs.  Recent advances in F1's ability to send contacts to small group leaders has provided a solution that now easily meets a care ministry needs.   The ...

  • The Best First Time Visitor with Children Process EVER

    The pressure created by putting a title like that on a blog is not lost on me but I love this process.  I have seen so many exciting and dynamic churches use this documented process and heard the success stories enough to know that this process has meat on its bones.   I heard it said somewhere that “Assimilation starts in the ...

  • Check-In Dos and Don'ts

    I have recently volunteered to be on site at churches when they go live with Fellowship One check-in.  Not too long ago, I always passed on these opportunities because I believed it to be a waste of my time and a waste of the churches money. I had explained to the church several times and they had watched hours of training videos ...

  • Why Do We Need a Data Integrity Team?

    Church silos continue to be a problem at many churches I visit. What many churches don’t understand is that there is more than one type of silo. Communication between ministries (written and verbal) is the easiest to comprehend. Many churches will say they haven’t spoken to anyone in the children’s ministry in as long as they can remember. By ...

  • Fellowship One Champion Team

    One mistake we have made in the past in the Delivery Team at Fellowship Technologies is putting all of our eggs in one basket. This basket was the Fellowship One Champion. We would pour all of our knowledge and experience into this one person. They in turn were supposed to lead the cause for Fellowship One at The Local Church. Many times they ...

  • Silos… The Unspoken Barrier to Ministry

    My name is Matthew McMaster and I have been a Delivery Manager at Fellowship Technologies since March of 2004. In that time I have implemented over 100 churches. Some of them have been very sophisticated in how they communicate within their ministries but many of them have a real silo issue. When each ministry functions as its own separate ...

    Hello!  Mark Lindsley, here, from the Delivery Services Team.  As a Delivery Manager, I’ve met with several churches over the last couple of years.  I just love getting to see how God is working in all of the different churches and communities.  Of course, it’s always fun to meet with the Student Ministries, also known as the ...
