About the Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How can your congregation more faithfully know and serve its neighbors? MissionInsite<\/strong> equips churches with powerful demographic information and insights about people\u2019s priorities and aspirations. This data helps you understand your neighbors so that<\/strong> your church can support strategic, Spirit-led ministry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this highly interactive working session, attendees (clergy and laity are welcome) will be oriented to MissionInsite and then move beyond basics to explore advanced tools that help interpret community data. Discover practical ways to turn insight into action\u2026strengthening mission, outreach, and evangelism while aligning local ministry with the broader connectional mission of the United Methodist Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be sure to bring a team so that learning and planning is a shared experience. <\/strong>Your team will spend parts of the day reflecting on the demographics and planning your outreach. When you return back to your church, reaching out to your neighbors will be a goal you can implement together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A follow-up, hour-long online and optional Zoom session will be scheduled after the event to demonstrate use of MI and answer questions about navigating the program and running reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
