Plot People
After a church administrator uploads people, you can plot them on a map.
Plotting people helps you define ministry areas and see the depth and reach of your ministry.
You can display all or some congregants in your plot, and you can color code your plot's legend by member status, church, or distance from the church. You can also create a custom plot to display congregants according to their first attendance date, membership date, birthday, or baptism date.
We recommend plotting active people, such as contributors, as this shows the current state of your congregation more than membership lists.
Note: To activate PeoplePlot for your church, contact the office of your denominational or regional agency. If you do not have an account under an agency, contact MissionInsite Support. At least one local church user must be designated as a church administrator in MissionInsite.
