The eSTAR Foundation, founded by Dwight and Mary Kay, serves as the hub for all research and software development.
eSTAR's vision is to be a resource center focused on educating individuals and improving society through data, research, and training. The eSTAR Foundation offers a variety of services, such as:
Church Statistics & Mapping
eSTAR offers interactive maps and directories that document church locations, affiliations, and worship languages, helping organizations understand where churches are needed. (http://thaichurches.org)
Global Church Database
The foundation supports a worldwide church mapping system, called Harvest allowing mission organizations and churches to identify areas with little Christian presence and plan outreach efforts.
Research & Training
eSTAR provides statistical insights and training resources to help churches and ministries make informed decisions about growth and community engagement. The Kaptrack app (http://kaptrack.com) is an essential tool for gathering research data.
