2021 APR Attendance Reporting
(From the General Secretary’s Office)
In December 2020, the Board of General Superintendents issued a temporary ruling that stated “Given the limitations of attendance during the pandemic, Annual Pastor’s Reports will be exempted from reporting morning worship and discipleship attendance. The remainder of the report should be completed as required.”
Based on this ruling, here is how the 2021 APR reporting for local churches is changed:
The APR serves as the Annual Report for Senior Pastors. The Church Directory and Deceased Members forms are attached. Please complete and return to Bernadette Stephens, District Secretary, distsecretary@att.net. Deadline is March 22nd.
All pastors are required to report annually. Deadline for reports is March 22nd. Please complete and return to Bernadette Stephens, District Secretary, distsecretary@att.net.
Based on this ruling, here is how the 2021 APR reporting for local churches is changed:
- If the APR has already been completed, there is no need to change what has been submitted.
- For those yet to complete, when opening the Annual Pastor’s Report (APR), the following fields will be populated with content from the 2020 APR reporting: 17, 20A, 21A, 22A, 23A, 24, and 24A. This method provides satisfactory content for the areas exempt from reporting for 2021, as the APR cannot be completed with empty fields.
- The populated field information can be changed; however, you are not requested to do so. Note that all fields must have a value entered in order to complete and submit the APR. Therefore, make sure that all fields have been completed.
The APR serves as the Annual Report for Senior Pastors. The Church Directory and Deceased Members forms are attached. Please complete and return to Bernadette Stephens, District Secretary, distsecretary@att.net. Deadline is March 22nd.
