Rose returned to Restoration roots after

DALLAS
FTIhe White Rock Church, located in
northeast Dallas, conducted a Neigh-
JL borhood Religious Census from April
24 to May 2. About half the congregation’s
325 members participated.
Beginning four months before the cen-
sus, a Wednesday evening adult class
focused on how to conduct personal evange-
lism and how to integrate new members into
the life and work of the local church.
Early in the planning stages, Claude
Thompson, an urban planner and White
Rock member, mapped out a three-mile
radius around the church building consid-
ered the market area. Member Glenda
Johnson, advertising manager of the
Mesquite News, directed publicity while
others coordinated office records, designed
materials, collected study materials, orga-
nized childcare and coordinated meals.
Elder Bob Fraze served as liaison
between the steering committee and the
other eight elders.
Members of the congregation volun-
teered for 14 areas of activity such as knock-
ing on doors, leading teams, helping with
records, teaching home Bible studies, grad-
ing correspondence courses, providing
transportation to services and contacting the
congregation’s membership to encourage
participation.
Printed handouts were left at almost
5,000 homes, 1,500 families were inter-
viewed, 146 families asked to study the
Bible and 19 other families enrolled in Bible
correspondence courses. Census data
revealed the four largest church member-
ships within the three-mile radius were the
Baptist (34 percent), Catholic (23 percent).
Methodist (12 percent) and the canvassing
church (five percent).
None the less, in addition to requests for
Bible studies, a significant number of fami-
lies wished to stay informed about upcom-
ing events on the church’s calendar. —LT
