Time to Share Your Statistical Data with PC(USA)

Each year, the Office of the General Assembly (OGA) gathers statistical information from congregations and presbyteries across the country. The office uses this data to provide a comprehensive breakdown on church membership, ethnicity and age distribution, as well as other information.

The reporting window for 2022 opened December 2; clerks may begin submitting their congregation's data now. Presbytery of the James requests clerks complete their reports by January 29, 2023. Look for an email from Franklin Reding with additional information.

You may notice some differences in the questions asked in this year’s survey. Learn more about these changes and the reasons behind them.
