How Outreach Mapping Helps Churches Reach More People
Published June 7, 2025
Outreach doesn’t have to be scattered or random. With Outreach Mapping, your church can bring strategy and intention to your evangelism — one street, neighborhood, or family at a time.
What is Outreach Mapping?
Outreach Mapping is the ability to visually track, tag, and manage all of your community outreach in one digital dashboard. Whether you’re knocking on doors, following up after an event, or praying over a block, this tool shows you what’s been done — and what still needs to happen.
Why It Matters for Growing Churches
Churches that grow don't just pray for people — they pursue them. Outreach Mapping helps pastors and teams avoid duplication, organize volunteers better, and take spiritual responsibility for every household within reach.
No more guessing who followed up. No more clipboard confusion. Just clear, Spirit-led action.
