We are asking that both reports be submitted by January 29, 2010, as many of the facts and figures you provide are needed for reports prepared by the Regional Conferences for their spring meetings.

Please note that there are two sections to the reporting process.

1. 2010 Personnel Report

The 2010 Personnel Report can is an online form that can be found here. Please complete and click the submit button. You will have an opportunity to request that a copy of the completed form be emailed to you.

2. 2009 Financial and Statistical Report

The login page for the report can be found here.
Definitions and instructions for the report can be downloaded here (Word document).

In our continuing quest to streamline the year-end reporting process, we have combined the 2009 financial and statistical reports into a single online form. It is not necessary that you complete this report form in one sitting nor that it be worked on by a single respondent. You and others can log in and out of the report using the username and password sent to you.

• Please note that the username and password are case-sensitive, so please enter them exactly as you received them.
• Also, because this information may be sent to multiple people in your church (pastor, treasurer, and church office staff), it’s important that you let each other know when you will be working with the form so that you don’t log-on at the same time and overwrite each other’s work. Work saved by one person will show up when another person logs in, so you will be able to see what other respondents have entered.

Here are a few instructions as you complete the online form:

• If the information requested does not apply to your church’s situation, you may leave the box blank or enter 0.
• If you wish to come back to the form at another time, or pass it along to another person, click on the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen to store the information you have entered.
• To retain a copy of the report for your files, print or save the form before clicking the submit button.
• When you have completed the report (and printed it, if you wish to retain a copy for your files), click on the “Submit” button.

If you lose your church’s username and/or password, please email Pam Arnold, assistant to the executive director of congregational relations, at parnold@bic-church.org, and she will resend it to you.

Questions and concerns can be directed to Pam Arnold at (717) 697-2634, ext. 5422 or by email at parnold@bic-church.org.
