Ten-Year Trends in Your Congregation

The Ten-Year Trend Report provides data from your congregation's Session Annual Statistical Report for the most recent ten years. The customized report presents trends for 36 variables (e.g., gains and losses by type, expenditures by type and mission giving).

Sample graph of a Ten-Year Trends Report.

The report also features graphs of church membership, worship attendance, contributions and church school enrollment. (We can make the data available to you in a spreadsheet.) Here's a sample graph – the graphs for your congregation will include narrative information to help you interpret the data.

Please note: this report is only available to PC(USA) congregations. Non-PC(USA) congregations should check with their denominational offices for similar statistics.
