Question: During your workshop at convention you talked about the relatively new system that Grace Covenant is using to record tithes and congregants, etc. I can't seem to find my notes on that. Could you give me that information again?
Answer: We are using Fellowship One software. It is a product of Fellowship Technologies. (http://fellowshiptech.com)
The project began because Fellowship Church (Pastor Ed Young) in Dallas Texas could not get from the other existing software what they needed to manage their church of 20,000 people. So programmers inside their church looked at competitors and then decided they would add functionality that the other programs could not and/or were unwilling to.
It is web-based and can be accessed from anywhere you have internet capabilities. We have been using it and have found that their constant upgrades are tremendous. They seem to be adding new functionality almost every month.
