Reflections on DC09

Spent the last few days at the Dynamic Church Conference in Dallas. It’s a conference for users of Fellowship One, a Church Management software from Fellowship Technologies. 

Here’s what I like about this software, these people, their passion:

1. Passion drives their purpose. 
   There is a genuine heart and belief that technology can be harnessed to help people become more fully devoted followers of Jesus. 
2. They know that their technology is not the end but the means. 
   Fellowship One is about all about helping the church clear the administrative barriers to make way for real relationships. 
3. They have an impressive road map.
   Ftech has clearly been putting in the work to architect or rearchitect the product to be more agile and responsive to the growing technological needs of the evolving Global Mobile Church (GoMo as @terrystorch labeled it).
4. The don’t have the answers.
   They made it very clear that the users of F1 are vital to drive future developments of the product. They call us church partners…and they mean it. 

In my roll @theSanctuary, I see a long relationship with F1 in our future. If we’re diligent about it’s implementation, realistic about putting a SuperTeam around it, and intentional about pursuing the relationships on the other side of the data, this should be a beneficial partnership now and into the future.
