First and foremost you need to let them know that their ministry is important enough to track in Fellowship One. Also, there is not one thing we do as a company without saying to ourselves "How will this effect Celebrate Recovery, Confidential Giving, Confidential Notes, and other confidential activities?" You should start by creating a ministry called Celebrate Recovery. Think long and hard about who you give read access to this ministry and who you are going to give write access to regarding Celebrate Recovery. There is a security right in Fellowship One for confidential activities. You should review who has access to this and determine who in CR needs access. Access to the ministry and confidential activities will protect who is involved in CR. The contact notes assigned to the CR ministry will only be viewable by people who have access to that ministry.
The next thing you want to do is figure out how you want to track CR involvement. Do you want to track attendance on the participants or strictly the staff and key volunteers? Do you think of them like small groups and want to pass information to the small group leaders though the portal to the small group manager? Do you want the small group leaders to track attendance for you or do you want to use check-in? You will probibly never get to the point where first time guest check in using Fellowship One check-in but having your regular people and staff check in that way can and does work.
