Does my church qualify as being in the Roanoke Valley?
We aren’t going to nitpick the definition, but our goal is to serve churches in Roanoke City, Roanoke County, Salem, Botetourt County, Craig County, and Franklin County. If you consider yourself a Roanoke Valley church – we’ll consider you one as well.
Will a consultant meet with my team?
Your consultant will meet with your leadership team for one hour to review the report findings and answer any questions. If you purchased the $997 Secret Guest Plus package, you will also receive 4 weeks of strategic implementation coaching session in the form of four one-hour meetings with your consultant.
What's included in the community demographic report?
This report, included in the $997 Secret Guest Plus package, is tailored to your defined ministry area (usually a 10 minute drivetime). The report will include information such as population trends, racial diversity, life stage forecasting, education levels, household income, and more. This information can be useful in better understanding how your church can serve the needs of your community.
