When it comes to church management software (ChMS), church leaders have a wide variety of options available. If you're in the market for a new ChMS tool, one of the tools you've likely heard of is FellowshipOne. In this review, I'd like to provide you with a brief history of the company along with an overview of its features.
As a church leader, you know that each person in your worship services or small groups is valuable. You hope that each person will want to grow spiritually as a part of your church family. But you realize that people come and go. Every church will have losses. People move away or graduate to heaven. And it’s inevitable that some folks will leave the church despite its best efforts to help them belong. Sometimes God wants to replant them somewhere else. Sometimes it’s a matter of “fit.”
As a church leader, you don’t have the time to sit down and type information about your people into a spreadsheet and monitor your interactions with them. But church management software can mind that gap.
So what, exactly, is a ChMS – and how can it help you better shepherd those God has entrusted to you?
The core of a missional community is a group of believers who live and experience life together like a family.
In a physical family, who live under one roof, keeping in contact amidst all the busyness can be a challenge. Extend that family beyond your household and keeping contact can prove problematic.
Technology is a great way to unite the relational and organizational needs of a missional community. When applied strategically, it can deepen your relationships by keeping you informed about life issues and needs.
