What others are saying about MissionInsite's MI System and Church Demographics!
After a recent MissionInsite training session a pastor approached me and said, “This is the best investment the Diocese ever made!” With 214 parish pastoral councils expected to facilitate pastoral planning, the MissionInsite tool is a practical and user-friendly resource. At the click of the mouse parish leaders can interface with the socio-economic realities that will influence mission motivated goals for the future. MissionInsite has made a tremendous contribution to the support of pastoral planning in our American Church.
-Dr. Mary Ann Gubish
Director, Department for Envisioning Ministry, Diocese of Pittsburgh (Roman Catholic)
I have found the versatility and usefulness of MissionInsite to be very helpful in our ministry of starting new churches. The openness to suggestions of innovation is a sign of its commitment to the regional body. As our local churches use it, they are amazed at the information which is available and the helpful way in which it is presented for use by the local church or the regional body.”
-Dr. Mont Duncan
Executive Director, New Church Development, The Florida Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church
I have found that our congregations are excited about the possibilities presented by the use of MissionInsite material. It is easy to use, has a wealth of current information and is flexible. I especially appreciate the QuickInsite option for use in a variety of situations.
-The Rev. Canon Joan M. Anthony
Canon to the Ordinary, Episcopal Diocese of Olympia
With MissionInsite, our ability to analyze our mission context has been taken to a whole new level. The MI System has a tremendous amount of horsepower--including real-time access to demographic information, point and click tools and instant reports. It's the most useful and innovative product I've ever seen for mission planning.
-The Rev. Dr. Steven Toshio Yamaguchi
Executive Presbyter Presbytery of Los Ranchos
For over 8 years we were using another demographic service. When we first heard about the development of MissionInsite and visited with the people involved in its creation, we just weren’t sure if we wanted to be an “early adopter.” We’re so glad we got onboard. The resources have expanded significantly…the ease of acquiring “custom” demographic reports for multiple study areas has been awesome. And on top of that, the people are very willing to help in whatever way possible. Along with the printed reports on many different demographic criteria, the ability to work with MissionInsite online with a group of people can provide even more “customized” information. If you haven’t explored the great demographics available through MissionInsite, I would recommend that you get in touch with them “post haste.” Or better yet, yesterday!
-Dr. Lou Jander
Judicatory Office, Texas District, The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod
MissionInsite is the best resource for the study of church contextual information that I have ever experienced. These materials can be vital to church development, mission outreach, and the empowerment of congregations within their communities. The ease of use and the comprehensive scope of the data is remarkable!
-Rev. Phil Leftwich
Executive Presbyter, Presbytery of Middle Tennessee, PCUSA
MissionInsite is an invaluable tool for interpreting mission opportunities and inspiring people to action! Having point-and-click access to the most up-to-date demographic information – and being able to cut the data along different lines to clarify what needs our church can meet – is a gift from God. If you long for your church to become more externally focused, if you wish for it to gain greater effectiveness in serving the community around it, I highly recommend this new tool.
-The Rev. Dr. Rob Langworthy, Pastor
Covenant Presbyterian Church, Long Beach, CA
I highly recommend MissionInsite to churches who want to minister more effectively to their own members and neighbors. MissionInsite will help you stay faithful to your missional calling by offering the unmatched ability to understand the people you serve and are called to reach. Using ground-breaking computer technology, your church will get precisely the information you want in precisely the form that is most helpful to you. Instead of pre-packaged information, you'll gain online access to almost infinite configurations of customized data -- exactly what you need to understand and advance your ministries.
