“I believe the Mapping Center can greatly enhance the ability of local churches to mobilize laypeople in ministry in the next few years. I can't see any church not wanting it.”
Dr. Paul Cedar, Chairman Mission America
This cutting edge ministry has great potential for the advancement of our Lord’s mission in the U.S.”
Church Resource Network San Jose, CA
“[We used] the Community Connector software for mapping over 10,000 lighthouses of prayer around the San Francisco Bay Area and conducting citywide prayer walks of San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose.”
Cannon United Methodist Church Snellville, GA
“We use it to target specific subdivisions with our community mailers as well as to map out route for door to door visits. We have been able to reduce the cost of our mailings in addition to making sure we get to the areas we have identified as having a large number of unchurched.”
First Baptist Church Denton, TX
“We love the opportunities for outreach that [Community Connector] offers -- as well as managing our prospect information --and allowing members to find and reach out to the community -- It is THE TOOL FOR OUTREACH!!!”
Wilderness Community Church Locust Grove, VA
“We do monthly mailings to our new neighbors and periodic mass mailings to the 3000 closest households to our church. We have a steady flow of visitors as a result and we continuously have new people who choose to become attenders and then members.”
Amherst Foursquare Church Amherst, OH
“Used it for the first time to advertise for our Easter service and experienced the largest crowd in our history.”
Bellaire Central Baptist Church Bellaire, TX
“We are using [Community Connector] for our mailing campaigns. We have targeted zip+2 neighborhoods. We started our new service ... with 25 people. At Easter ... we had 75 and last week ... we had 55. Either way we have doubled in our first 8 months. “
Quail Springs Church of Christ OKC, OK
“We used [Community Connector] for organizing prayer walks and neighborhood groups for 40 Days of Purpose. Being able to equip volunteers with names of real people living around them gave validity to the whole project. It sent a message that we are serious about reaching people in our neighborhoods. Our members have reached out to their neighbors more in the last couple of months than in the last 20 years.”
The Woodlands UMC The Woodlands, TX
“[Community Connector] helped us vision our community care services and helped us target areas that needed special attention.”
Dallas Baptist Assoc. Dallas, TX
“We were able to divide up our entire two county area of over 800,000 homes among 500 churches to make sure every home got a clear presentation of the gospel. We were about 80% successful. We used it to help divide portions of the entire Metroplex (Dallas and Fort Worth metropolitan area) among churches interested in reaching their communities through the Book of Hope emphasis. This virtually eliminated any overlapping of coverage.”

“Out of 1.2 million New Hampshire residents, we made contact with 130,000 of them using [Community Connector]. We started 13 churches and added 1,000 to church membership since using it.”
