• 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.
