Emerging Church Network

Cultural Assessments

ECN has developed, tested, and proven a method of identifying not the physical, but rather “cultural crossroads” for planting new expressions of the Kingdom of God. Most demographic information you find will provide a view of your area from 30,000 feet. The difference we make is helping you discover the view from 3 feet. The goal of our assessments is to answer three critical questions:

  1. Who are the unreached people groups in this specific area?
  2. What are their needs - physically, emotionally, and spiritually?
  3. How might existing or new ministries go about meeting those needs for the glory of God?

Assessments are done using surveys conducted by local volunteers. Assessments can be done over the course of a weekend, a week or longer depending on the area or campus. Data is gathered via the internet and is exported to a database that is made available to you within a few weeks. You can choose from a variety of custom options to enhance your assessments effectiveness.
