Fellowship One

Still trying to get that discussion moved to contract.  I hope to connect to the sales director as I don't want to have to pay an arm and a leg of "implementation" to get the Standard Plus level vs. Growth Plus.  Standard Plus has some additional features we might not use out of the box -- but would/should upgrade too in 90-180 days.

We'll see how they roll.

Their system continues to look intriguing and possibly a good match with re-engaging the 45 and less or non-regular attendees to compliment Alternative Worship.  It is very Web 3.0 which is good for us techies but they are addressing how to be friendly to those less computer savvy.  Pricing right now is somewhat affordable over all especially since they are waiving a lot of the fees they will charge in the future, in exchange for participating in the beta.  Beta pricing is based on % of annual budget, # of average monthly adult attendees, % of those we plan to include & reach -- formula sounds difficult but it is not.

Will continue to research and see where it takes me.  They stress "disciples need to be handcrafted, they can't be mass produced."

I'm communicating with Jamie George @ Monvee who is Episcopalian herself and trying to build up a ministry to the unchurched / youth / Gen X.  So there is a good level of understanding of cultural/church issues vs. only evangelic mega-church or new seed churches.  Which has been an issue for some of the other tools and ChMS's I've looked at.
