Daily Concerns

Lovin’ every minute of it

Wow, what an experience the last couple of days! We kicked off our 2nd annual Dynamic Church Conference on Thursday and we’ve had an awesome 48 hours. And there’s still more to experience on Saturday.

I love our company’s unrelenting focus on excellence in everything we do.

I love the 65 committed, talented, caring people that work at Fellowship Tech.

I love the 366 customers and prospects that attended this year’s events.

I love the 18 sponsors / partners we had in our Expo this year.

I love that one customer was so committed to coming to DC08 that when she accidently broke her leg the day before traveling to the conference, that she went to the doctor and STILL made her flight into Dallas!

I love that our customers are so understanding that when the hotel completely messed up the Internet connections on Thursday morning for our Hands-on Training labs but I still had one woman compliment us on how well the room looked! 

I love that our technology operations team is filled with talented technologists – they went to Best Buy in a heartbeat, purchased miscellaneous hardware, then acted like MacGyver and fixed the Internet connection, bypassing the hotel’s inability to resolve it. It salvaged the hands-on labs the rest of the day.

I love that the sessions on our new RESTful API and Fellowship One Analytics were packed and got rave reviews. I believe that’s confirmation that we’re heading down the right path.

I love that I got to meet Cynthia Ware and Joe Suh in person.  I also had the privilege of hearing them speak during each of their sessions. (I also love that Cynthia Ware is an OU grad – Boomer Sooner!)

I love that I got applause during my keynote - I love it even more that the applause had nothing whatsoever to do with me! They were praising the fine work of our development team – I was simply blessed to be the messenger.

I love that I got sit in Terry Storch’s session. He challenged us all to our core with some serious “What if” questions.

I love that our company had Lincoln Brewster play a concert for our staff and attendees at Celebration Covenant Church. The church leadership, staff, and volunteers at Celebration are amazing servant leaders! We are very grateful to the church for hosting the concert.

I love that I got to spend over an hour with Lincoln Brewster at dinner Friday evening, learning more about him and his family. What an awesome guy – so talented and so “others” focused.

I love that our staff came up with fresh ideas at the conference like Power Start, an FT Store for shirts and other goodies, new ways to honor our sponsors, etc. And that most of the ideas were a tremendous success!

I love the energy and vibe of our conference. It’s an honor to participate in such an exciting and uplifting event.

I love that I get the privilege of working at Fellowship Tech. It’s awesome!

God bless,

Curtis S

I love the fact that even though our team was late to almost everything, ok everything, we left feeling like we had found favor with God and Fellowship One. We could be standing in the hall at any given moment (late for class) and a F1 “big dog” would walk up, greet us, and begin answering any questions we may have had. We had one-on-one sessions for everything we wanted to know. This had to have happened six to seven times during conference; some of the team was even treated to coffee (I missed this treat – I was in class) We were even offered a personal tour of Prestonwood Church because we were having such a hard time deciding which church to tour – thanks goes out to Mr. David Morrison. To everyone involved – thank you for an awesome conference!

I am very excited about what God is doing in the local church through technology.  Attending the conference and seeing the new and creative ways Fellowship One is providing tools for us to reach people in our community and care for those already in our church was the highlight for me.  It re-energized me to continue pressing forward with implementation of Fellowship One features.

The Lincoln Brewster concert was great too.  What an entertainer!!

Thanks for outdoing yourselves this year.

Looking forward to next year,

Even though the conference was a great learning experience - the best thing about the conference was that we truly felt we had chosen the best company to take care of our church database. The Fellowship One team was the most Godly, professional group of people I have ever encountered.
