Research

Research is an integral part of EGC. We work with area urban churches and para-church organizations to identify priority community needs; facilitate the development of strategies for church and para-church ministry response to these needs; build church and para-church ministry capacity to engage in these strategies; and launch partnership initiatives using these strategies and capacities.

Our research staff have an appreciation of the methodology and value of applied research, familiarity with basic sources of data (including demographic data and other local and national data on community needs and faith-based activities), extensive experience in community listening (frequently we use a facilitated method that utilizes hexagons) and learning teams, and access to pastors and church leaders.
