Congregation Reports A (Link to ELCA Website)
On December 9, the ELCA churchwide organization sent out an email to ELCA congregations, SAWCs, and new starts, describing the Annual Congregation Report process and key dates for the new data year. The email included a link to elca.org/reportinstructions which includes a generic version of Form A, so congregations that wish to begin compiling their data can do so.
The online system for 2025 Form A reporting will open in mid-January. It will be accessible at elca.org/congregationalreport. All ELCA congregations, SAWCs and new starts will receive the 2025 Annual Congregation Report letter through the mail at this time.
These passwords will be provided to congregations and worshiping communities in a letter from Secretary Rothmeyer that will be sent through the mail. The letter should arrive mid-January, so keep your eyes open for it.
