BGAV's Marketing Team can provide your church with demographic reporting and marketing analysis for outreach and community engagement. Our reports give your church insight into how to effectively minister to communities in your area.

If your church is in transition between pastors or other ministerial staff positions, the reports we provide can assist you in educating your candidates more thoroughly and accurately about your area while they consider their call.

Your Demographic Study and Report is customized for your church per your specifications and include estimates for the current year and five-year projections. These studies provide statistical characteristics of population groups in specific geographic areas and provide up-to-date data for:

• Current Trends
• Population Data
• Age Distribution
• Ethnic Groups
• Gender Distribution
• Household Sizes/Types
• Education Levels
• Income Levels
• Family Size
• Marital Status
• Lifestyle Analysis

1. Geographic Radius – A circle around your site defined in miles.
2. Natural or Man-Made Boundaries – Roads, rivers, city/county limits, et. al
3. Drive Time – Minutes traveled to your site from points in your defined ministry area.
