MissionInsite
Growing to Reflect the Demographic Realities of our Communities
Brethren in Christ U.S. has partnered with MissionInsite to provide churches with demographic data about their community. As churches seek to appropriately serve their communities, access to current and future-trend data can help congregations refine existing ministries and learn about new ministry opportunities.
The ability to build bridges across an ever-changing community is a huge asset to church ministry, and will help us move toward Priority 5 of Project 250: growing to reflect the demographic realities of our communities. BIC U.S. hopes that all congregations will participate in the effort to learn more about their communities and discover the best ways to share the love of Jesus with them. Base level reports will be distributed to all congregations, and more specific reporting is available upon request.
Watch the short video below to see how we are using MissionInsite to learn more about our communities.
