MissionInsite
Discovering your church's ministry opportunities has never been easier. MissionInsite provides instant access to community information for your church via The MI System. You'll get desktop, web-based access to demographic data for a variety of geographic levels. Explore the possibilities at www.MissionInsite.com.
The MI System provides you with a new way to access demographic information. It moves beyond the static reports you order to a powerful "discovery tool" for exploration and "out of the box" thinking for church ministry, church planting, church growth and outreach.
The system also provides the ability for local churches to locate their church members and others affiliated with their church on your map. This is referred to as Congregant Plot. So, while there are a few things you need to learn, the system is designed to be user friendly and provides you with additional services not available from other systems. Have fun exploring your mission context and remember there is no possibility of accidentally harming the system or data.
Before getting registered, you are encouraged to explore the documents in the Resource area for the Local Church – especially the Tutorial, Introduction to MissionInsite, Local Church User Guide and How To Create A Report.
**The Mosaic Worksheet is a tool to use with each of the 60 full Mosaic Type Portraits. Churches are finding that the detail in these reports provides a greater insight into the socio-economic realities of residents living within their communities. This insight assists them in reaching these residents.
