FOOD FOR THOUGHT

What we are learning about collaboration

State of the City Report

We have compiled this report as a starting

point for dialogue around the place we live,

the people we love, and the collective potential

we unknowingly carry. There is always more

data to explore, and this is certainly not

exhaustive, but we wanted to compile some

key figures that help us to see, with better

clarity, the place we have been called to love

and lead. The data is focused on three counties

(Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco) identifying

some key demographics, needs, the positioning

of the church, and some possibilities for greater

collaboration.

Disunity: A Branding Problem

Given that the church is more known for its inability to stay together, we have a brand problem to be sure. Believers in Jesus profess that “in [Christ] all things hold together” (Col. 1:17), and yet we can’t demonstrate that we ourselves as His people are held together in Him. This is a branding problem and for the sake of His name, we need to do something about it.
