The Center for Missional Research exists to help Christian leaders make strategic missional decisions by researching North American cultures, analyzing ministry effectiveness of churches, and understanding communities where churches minister.

• The Knowing Church and Knowing Culture FACT FILE sections contain PowerPoint presentations and other downloadable research reports.     
• The Knowing Community section gives you a place where you can access tools to equip your local church with the following: 
  • Demographic reports, including thematic maps, prepared for your community. 
  • You can also research and connect with people groups across North America.
  • Contacting a church consultant to assist your church in impacting your community.
  •  Register as a church consultant to add your name to the list.
• Assess your church's potential with MAPchurch - a free resource provided by the North American Mission Board in partnership with the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. MAPchurch measures the perceptions that your church members have about their church.
