Case Study: The Rock Church achieves long-term technology success and unified data management with FellowshipOne

The Rock Church Favors Long Term Tech Success Over Quick Fix

The Rock Church, founded in 2000 and now San Diego’s largest congregation, faced growing pains as rapid expansion exposed fragmented data systems and inconsistent member care. Although they had used FellowshipOne since 2001 for children’s check-in, data silos, disappearing records when staff left, and unreliable tracking created logistical nightmares that limited ministry effectiveness.

Lindsy Hines, the database administrator, made FellowshipOne the central administrative platform, driving staff training, hands-on support, and proactive promotion to secure buy-in. She expanded the system with additional portals, used Notes for security tracking, tracked volunteers and groups through attributes and tools, and extended check-in off-site—resulting in centralized, reliable data, better security and member care, and a scalable solution the church can grow into.
