Custom Demographic Study

If you're not affiliated with a registered denominational or regional MissionInsite subscriber, our team can create a custom study for you. To do this, we need your key agency contacts, church or parish data lists, and agency boundaries.

  1. Provide Key Contacts — Key contacts are people in your regional agency who can provide data files and agency boundary maps. We'll provide key contacts with login information, specific instructions, and support.

  2. Provide a Data File — Before you can retrieve community data, you must submit a file that contains information for each church, parish, or organization in your regional agency. Use the Church Data File Template to compile this data. Once you've gathered your church data, contact us at 877-230-3212 or misupport@acst.com for more instructions.

  3. Provide Agency Boundary Map — Next, we need an accurate agency boundary map, preferably a digital submission known as a shape file. Digital shape files consist of four files for each boundary. If you don't have a digital file, you can submit an accurate street map with clear boundaries for your agency. Or, if your agency's boundaries are comprised of states or counties, submit a list of those.

  4. Submit your shape files, maps, PDFs, or lists to misupport@acst.com.
