Statistics Reports

The time has come to prepare your year-end statistics for adoption by your session and entry into the national database. The deadline for entering your statistics is February 18, 2021. The presbytery will still be able to enter them for you for about two weeks after that date, and if you send us the data, we would be happy to do that. But after February 18th, you will not have access to the entry page with your User ID and password.

Here is a direct link to the page to enter your statistics:

https://ogaapps.pcusa.org/soc/AdvancedSearch.aspx

When you are ready, begin by choosing the link that says “Go to the Online Church Statistics Entry System,” near the top of the page and then enter your login information when prompted. If you have not received your User ID and Password from us, email us at mail@standrewpresbytery.org and we will get that information to you.

The next Presbytery meeting will be Tuesday, March 2 via Zoom.

We anticipate an increase in Hunger Action Grant requests from this year to next and we need your assistance to replenish our fund so that we are prepared to respond. We feel that if we all work together on this, we can make it happen.

To help us ensure that Hunger Action Grants will continue as long as need is there, please contribute to the Presbytery of St. Andrew's Cents-Ability Fund below.
