Parochial Reports

The link for submitting Congregational A/C forms for 2021 online is still open. 2021 Congregational Report forms were mailed to all congregations. This mailing included Form A, Form C, the instructions, and the financial worksheet. Your congregational ID number and password for online reporting were included in the mailing. If you can't find your login information or are missing your Congregational Report forms, please contact the synod office. If your congregation has not submitted A/C forms for 2021, please do so as soon as possible.

The ELCA is offering the linked guidance on calculating online attendance for recorded and live-streamed services.

Submitting A/C forms is a constitutional requirement for synod congregations, and data from your report an important ministry tool for your congregation, the Southwest California Synod, and the Churchwide body.

In order to be eligible for upcoming Synod Grant cycles, your congregation will need to have a 2021 report on file.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Luther reminds us that we do works in celebration of our faith not in order to obtain salvation that has already been granted to us. God's work. Our hands. is merely a day we commemorate that promise and we are called to continue to celebrate in that work the other 364 days of the year.

Now is a great time to start talking to your youth and young adults about the ways our communities can do justice and serve our neighbors.
