The congregational research office produces regular reports from the annual Parochial Report, including trend analyses on membership, attendance and giving.  Around 94% of Episcopal congregations file a report annually, making the Parochial Report one of the most complete reports of parish life in any Church or religious body.  Find these reports by selecting the link to Parochial Report Analyses, Reports and Charts.  In addition, the congregational research office conducts regular and special research projects and analysis as part of Faith Communities Today and ongoing efforts to respond to research needs and General Convention resolutions.

Parochial Report Analysis, Reports and Charts
The Parochial Report established by our Constitution and Canons is a tool for the collection of data that is intended to assist the Church in planning for mission. The “new” parochial report form launched in 1999 with fewer questions and a simplified format. The use of web technology for filing is another important development in our efforts to make this a useful tool for parishes and dioceses.  A graphic report of 11 years of membership, attendance and giving from the Parochial Report for each parish and diocese is available at Studying Your Congregation and Community.  Each parish can download their own current and prior year Parochial Reports in PDF form at pr.dfms.org using their login (parish UEID and PIN).  Various other Parochial Report-based reports are available at by clicking the Parochial Report Analysis, Reports and Charts link.
