Michael Tribett started FlockConnect after a close friend in his small group pulled him aside one day and said he was leaving the church. He'd been a member for almost two years and only really knew about three people.
The pastors had no idea. The friend looked perfectly fine on paper — showing up Sunday, in a small group, even serving. The relational data the church needed wasn't anywhere a ChMS could see it.
That moment shaped a conviction Michael keeps coming back to: technology should serve the shepherd, never replace the shepherd. FlockConnect tracks the relational layer your ChMS can't see — who knows whom, who's drifting, who's quietly about to leave.
Collie is its sheepdog. An AI assistant that takes the rest of the work off a pastor's plate — drafts, prep, follow-ups, the Sunday bulletin, the volunteer asks — so the pastor stays where they're needed most. Every external action waits for explicit approval. Nothing leaves your desk without you saying yes.
