Fellowship Technologies’ Pelletier to Speak at Church Solutions Conference & Expo

Dallas (February 8, 2008)—Jeff Pelletier, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Fellowship Technologies (www.FellowshipTech.com), will discuss “The Infrastructure for Successful Small Groups Ministry” at the Church Solutions Conference & Expo, held at the Phoenix Convention Center, February 12-14, 2008.

Presented on the opening day of the conference, Tuesday, February, 12, the interactive discussion is one of 30 education sessions offered at the annual gathering which unites pastors, church business administrators and executives in a nationwide exchange of information and experiences. One of the most cutting-edge national events serving the church community, the Church Solutions Conference & Expo offers a peer-to-peer format that brings real-life relevance to the education sessions, allowing pastors and church executives to hear the triumphs and tribulations of their peers.

“It’s a privilege and honor to speak on behalf of Fellowship Technologies at this exciting inaugural event for Church Solutions,” said Pelletier, who, as an executive for the leading provider of web-based church management software, has access to a wide variety of small group ministries across the country. “This just validates our desire to be in total alignment with the leadership of churches and their ministries, which is what this conference serves.”

Fellowship Technologies’ flagship product, Fellowship One, is the first 100 percent web-based, enterprise-level church management software built by a church for churches. This integrated management system allows small groups leaders to be more efficient in their ministry methods, by providing a streamlined system of online support beneficial to the overall success of the small groups ministry. Because the ministry is taking place outside the walls of the church, lay leaders now are equipped to manage and report on the activities of their small groups through the website’s functionality and ease-of-use … and without burdening church administration.

“We see technology as a tremendous enabler to maximize the overall effectiveness of the ministry,” said Pelletier, who also is a senior lay leader in the small groups ministry at his church. “Our focus at Fellowship Technologies is accelerating the dynamic church, so it’s a natural fit for us to be participating in such a dynamic church conference.”

An audio preview of Pelletier’s breakout session, “The Infrastructure for Successful Small Groups Ministry,” co-presented by Cliff Atfield, the Married Community Groups Director at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Ga, is available in a webinar on the site.

Fellowship Technologies is now a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner having recently achieved such status in two competencies: ISV/Software Solutions and Advanced Infrastructure Solutions.

It means that Microsoft has independently certified our proficiency in developing software solutions based on Microsoft technologies and delivering consistent, high-quality hosted or outsourcing services built on Microsoft technologies.

I would like to thank Fellowship Technologies founder, Rick Chatham, for his hard work in coordinating the certification effort. I would also like to thank our customers who completed the customer satisfaction survey that was a part of this effort. All of your comments were helpful in letting us know what we do right, but also in helping us determine where to prioritize our efforts so that we can make you better. It is not about building better software, it is about helping you improve your church and positively affecting peoples’ lives.

Grace to you,
