Dear Pastors, Colleagues, and Friends,
Statistical reporting season is open!
Our Statistical Tables tell the story of membership, finances, and stewardship in our churches. The numbers you share represent the quantified data of people who connect with our ministries through their time, presence, and generosity. These statistics highlight the financial gifts received and utilized for ministry and demonstrate how people express their generosity. Together, your work paints a collective picture of the United Methodist Church’s impact within the North Carolina Conference.
What You Need to Know:
Statistical Tables 1, 2, and 3 are now unlocked and ready for completion using your 2024 end-of-year data. You can access your church’s Tables through the Church Record on the Online Data Collection System: https://forms.nccumc.org.
– Table 1: Membership – Records the people connected to your church and their participation through in-person and online worship, Sunday school, small groups, United Women in Faith, United Methodist Men, youth programs, and other ministries.
– Table 2: Financial Expenses – Details the operational and capital expenses of the church.
– Table 3: Stewardship & Giving – Accounts for the gifts received from individuals, households, and other sources.
Deadline: Please enter all data and submit the completed forms by the end of the day on January 31, 2025.
