Tips for On-Line Statistical Reporting

DO NOT CLICK "SUBMIT CHURCH INFORMATION" UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED ENTERING ALL YOUR INFORMATION!
Enter the information you prepared on your worksheet. You can come and go from the website and make as many changes as necessary until the deadline date of midnight, Wednesday, February 20, 2008 or until you hit the "Submit" button. Remember, the session needs to approve the report as soon as possible after December 31, 2007. This is a session report and does not require approval at the congregational meeting.

The best place to print is from the "Church Report" menu on-line. The "church report" feature is a two-page summary of all the information that you have entered. This is the report you should include in your session minute book.

If you have questions or need assistance with this process contact Terry Epling by e-mail or phone at 314.772.2395 x123 or contact Kris Valerius on the help line in the Office of the General Assembly at 1-888-727-7228 x8144.

Insurance Information
If you did not do so last year, please obtain and photocopy your church insurance policy's "Declaration Page" or "Package Insurance Plan" and mail the copy to the Stated Clerk by February 20th. This information assures the presbytery's insurance provider that we are monitoring your coverage and thus lessens the presbytery's liability.
