Mapping Systemic Racism in Your Community (a rural perspective)
Systemic Racism is real. Often called Structural Racism, it has been woven into our societal structures over centuries in such a pervasive way that if you are not on the receiving end of it, you may have inherited a cultural blindness to it. In this webinar you will learn how to use missional intelligence mapping not only to identify the specifics of how it affects vulnerable populations in your community, but also how you can confront those issues effectively.

Tentative Topics for May-June (and Beyond)
Capital Campaign Missional Assessment
In this webinar, participants will learn how to provide a solid foundation for capital campaign planning by conducting a data-grounded assessment of the missional opportunities and challenges in their neighborhoods to determine potential community support for improvements of their properties and buildings.
Creating Congregation-Community Collaborative Hubs
Across the United States, congregations are struggling to balance their budgets without sacrificing important congregational and community ministries. Meanwhile, 85% of their building space is vacant every week and more than 500,000 acres of congregational property go entirely unused nationwide. In this webinar faith leaders will learn how to develop a data-grounded plan to leverage their underused buildings and property for the sake of their neighborhoods and mission.
Leadership Transition Missional Assessment
In this webinar, participants will learn how to conduct a data-grounded assessment of the missional opportunities and challenges in their neighborhoods to determine what knowledge, gifts, skills, attitudes, and qualities a successful candidate will need to have in order to help the congregation achieve their vision and mission.
