Research

Aim: To identify communities in Coventry that lack a Gospel Witness

Objectives:

1. To Map the 2011 Census responses on Religion

2. To identify and map locations where fellowships of Christians (Churches) meet

3. To collect postcodes of people attending these Churches (Churchgoers)

4. To map where Churchgoers live, aggregated by postcode

5. To identify the character and location of communities in Coventry where no Churchgoers live

6. To encourage Churchgoers to evaluate their Gospel Witness to their own community

7. To encourage the development of a Coventry Gospel Network

Research

Inputs and Outputs

Contributing Churches will need to provide a simple list of postcodes (one row for each person attending), with no other personal data.

Research

Inputs and Outputs

They can optionally include a second column which indicates each Churchgoer’s level of involvement, for those fellowships that distinguish members from attendees for example.

Church Assesment?(Rainer) Score on rankings of seven areas

1. Percent growth in worship attendance last five years

2. Percent in small groups

3. New commitments per attendee (last year)

4. Percent of above actively involved (last year)

5. Percent attending more than once a month with regular responsibilities in Church

6. Percent attending more than once a month with regular ministries with people not affiliated with your Church

7. Level of agreement with the statement "we are consistently hearing reports of changed lives at our church"

Research

Transformational Discipleship Assessment Eighty questions repeated to measure progress, eg:

I expect my Christian friends to challenge me if I make unwise choices.

I believe everything I have belongs to God.

The fruit of the Spirit (love, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, etc.) is evidence of a genuine relationship with God.

I am generally a different person in public than I am in private.

When I realize that I have a choice between "my way" and "God's way," I usually choose my way.

The City of Peace and Reconciliation

Research

Everyone in Christ has the ministry of reconciliation 2 Corinthians 5:17-18

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

Research

We are Christ’s Ambassadors

that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf :Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:19-20
