Demographics - CMF

In order to assist congregations in effectively reaching their communities, the Michigan District has made available a demographics program whereby congregations can study the population, economic, and cultural trends of the area around them.

MissionInsite is an online program that provides instant access to community information for your church via The MI System. 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 is designed to be user friendly and provides you with additional services not available from other systems.
