Centralized Database

As Coastal has grown, we have seen the need to more effectively store data about our members in a central location in order to more effectively communicate, connect, and involve each of our members to the various ministries of the church.  To this end, we have implemented a central church database called Fellowship One which allows us to store member information, track giving, handle event registration, and more. We realize that you may have concerns about providing us personal information, so we have attempted to address these concerns below. If you have a concern that is not addressed here, feel free to contact us with any questions. 

"What Do I Need to Do?"

Create an account so that we know who you are, and so that your information is stored for future event registrations. 

"Why Do You Need to Know My Birth Date?"

Four simple reasons: 
- Knowing what stage of life you are in helps us make sure that you receive information that is helpful to you. 
- This information guarantees your online account information is secure, so that any information that is stored about you will remain safe. 
- Although there is no inappropriate content on the site whatsoever, certain events and groups are age restricted. The birth date ensures that children do not sign up for adult groups and vice versa 
- You will be asked for your birth date if your forget your username and password as a security precaution to protect your account

"I Don't Want to Be Bombarded Or Spammed With Church Mailings."

Don't worry. We hate that too. The purpose of Fellowship One is to make it easier to interface with the various ministries of Coastal, not for us to capture your information so that we can invade your personal space by adding more clutter to your life. You can unsubscribe to any of our email lists at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of the email. 

"I'm Nervous About Sharing My Personal Information Online."

Coastal respects your privacy, and we can assure you that this database is completely secure against data theft and data loss.  Here is a recap of what you will NOT get when you create an account with Fellowship One: 
- Spammed or harassed for marketing purposes 
- Inundated with information you do not want or need 
- Infiltrated by spyware or asked for money 
- Contacted by strangers 
- Email forwards with cookie recipes, chain letters, or miscellaneous nonsense 

We hope that you will use this new system to it's full potential, and enjoy the new features that it offers. Again, if you have any more questions, feel free to contact us.
