Neighborhood Mapping: How to Make Your Church Invaluable to the Community

In addition to understanding the Word of God, it is necessary to understand the people we serve. Once we make sense of our neighborhoods and communities, we can begin to "diagnose" needs and apply the proper "dose" of the Gospel to meet those opportunities.

Neighborhood Mapping awakens the neighborhood explorer to consider effective methodology of understanding their neighborhood. Dr. Fuder calls believers to shift the focus from inside the church building to those who live in the community.

Best practices and sample surveys will be available in this resource as explorers will look through the lens of Scripture to give practical steps to exegete the community and consider best practices of:

• What is a neighborhood map/Community Analysis
• When should this map/analysis be created
• Why should we map our neighborhood
• Who is on the map / Who is a part of this analysis
• Where are the borders of this map/analysis
• How does one conduct a community analysis
