Below are links to demographic information supplied by the Mission Insite Website. This is a resources available to every United Methodist Church, providing demographic information for our surrounding area. As we prepare for our summer listening session (see above!), this information will help with discerning God's will for FUMC. Above are the dates with the accompanying question/topics. We invite you to pray through each question prior to each listening session and take the time to review information on this website and ask what God is calling us to do with the information.
At first glance it appears that we have some areas of growth potential in the Millennial and Gen Z populations. These populations have some different characteristics that we might want to consider as we talk about "What does the Community need?". Please bring your impression of the data and what trends or areas of growth you glean from the following information.
