On mission Christians committed to winning North America for Christ have an enormous mission field ripe for the harvest. The map on this page illustrates the task facing Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) churches. It is coded by color density to show the relationship of each congregation to the population as a whole.

Its no surprise that the density is greater in the U.S. southeastern states and sparse in the northern provinces of Canada. But this map and the charts below tell us so much more.  They illustrate other helpful demographic information such as 1) total populations, 2) number of SBC congregations (includes churches and church-type missions), 3) population per SBC congregation (which provides the data for color-coding ), 4) SBC resident members (members who live in the proximity of the church or mission), 5) population per resident member (population divided by the number of resident members associated with SBC churches or missions), 6) percentage of Catholics, 7) percentage of Baptists (includes all Baptist congregations, not just SBC),  8) percentage of other Protestants, 9) percentage of people claiming other religions, 10) percentage of people who claim no religion.

Red dots show locations of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States starting with New York City (21,199,865) and ending with Louisville, Kentucky (1,025,598).
