The official deadline for churches to submit their statistics to OGA is Wednesday, February 22, 2012.  I recommend you get your statistics done as early as possible to avoid the annual congestion on the online system.

If you cannot access the online system set up an appointment and come by the Presbytery office and enter your statistics from here.  We will have our annual statistics party on Saturday, January 28, 2012, for those who need assistance with the electronic filing.  I understand that these reports require a bit of time and organization.  This office stands ready to help you in any way it can.  Have a blessed holiday and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year.  May God continue to bless you and your work.
