How to Apply Demographic Insights to Shape Seeker-Sensitive Ministries (United Church of Canada)


How do people interpret demographic information? How do people merge statistics about trends with decisions about ministry? What kind of pastor does the church need to reach the public outside their doors? What kind of refreshments should be served on Sunday morning? What kinds of small group affinities will attract the interest of new people? What kinds of outreach choices will motivate volunteers? Where should off-site missions be located? What kind of alternative worship service will reach seekers? How can fund raising strategies be customized to be more effective?

This webinar is for externally focused church leaders. Tom Bandy will explain how growing churches use demographic information to customize effective ministries. He will help people interpret data, and combine it with their own listening strategies. Learn how to integrate demographic insights with strategic planning, and align the mission of the church with spiritual yearnings of the public.
