CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
Active Member
An active
member has been defined by General Assembly (Minutes 1995, p. 185) as,
“One who has been constitutionally received into membership in a congregation;
and who has attended services of worship at least once each quarter; and who regularly contributes of her/his
time, talent, and/or substance during
each quarter of the church year; or, who, in the judgment of the session, though unable to attend
services of worship, and/or contribute regularly of his/her time, talent or
substance to the church, still maintains a faithful, prayerful and loving
commitment to Jesus Christ and His church.
Removal of Inactive Members
General Assembly has authorized
church sessions to remove from their membership rolls, the names of members who
are inactive by virtue of the fact that their whereabouts have been unknown to
the session for a period of two calendar years. (Minutes, 1995, p. 185)
BAPTIZED CHILDREN
You should report the number of
infant baptisms that occurred only in the year for which you are reporting. (Minutes,
1997, p. 315)
REPORTING INCOME
Include all income received by the
church from all sources, except money loaned to the church or income that is
received as support from a board or agency of the church.
** Don’t forget to print off a copy for your files.

Once your form
is received by the General Assembly Office a copy will be sent to your

The OUO
Committee has asked that all congregations be reminded that in 1985, the
General Assembly adopted a recommendation to try to simplify congregational
giving to Our United Outreach. General Assembly agreed that a church would be
asked to tithe or give 10% of their income to Our United Outreach.
For example:
Based on the income amount
entered on line 9, the following calculation shows the
recommended amount to be given to OUO.
10% of Income (line 9 x 10%) $ 10145
Please indicate the
actual amount given to OUO in 2024 $ 88813_
