It is important for Christians to understand the cultures and communities that they will be serving in. Paul on Mars Hill in Athens demonstrated knowledge of the culture and their traditions as he applied the Gospel to their situation. As we develop an understanding of the people, the area in which they live and how their lives are structured; we find how to address the Gospel in both word and deed.
Neighborhood Assessments
The Neighborhood Assessment is a compilation of statistical data, information and surveys from a given neighborhood in the city of Conway.
