The Presbyterian Statistical Report—PC(USA) is exclusively used by the PC(USA) churches and this report has been designed specifically to meet the annual reporting needs of the PC(USA) and follows the reporting specifications set out by it.
This report contains the following tabs:
» Church Info—Lists various church contact information. Most of this information will be filled in by the information entered on the Church tab of the program Settings screen from the System Menu of Shepherd’s Staff. The “For the Membership Year” field represents the year that you’re running this report for.
» Membership 1— This tab displays statistical information on your Membership as calculated by the data you have input into Shepherd’s Staff.

Each field can be manually entered, if you have the number, or, if you click “Reset”, Shepherd’s Staff will calculate this number for you.
