INFORMATION:

                

                 The 2000 census figures indicate that most of the communities in the New York City Metropolitan area have been experiencing population growth.  There have also been demographic shifts.

 

REFLECTION:

 

How would you describe the membership of your church: growing, holding steady or declining?

What changes have been taking place in the community or communities surrounding your church?

Are there any factors that should help your church to grow?

Are there any factors that make it difficult for your church to grow?

 

Be aware of the important membership facts and statistics of the congregation.

Learn about the demographic trends in your community  by making use of information available from the municipality or county in which you live, from New York State and from the United States Census Bureau. (Municipal, State and federal websites and offices are usually helpful).

Ensure that your church makes membership growth a priority
