Congregational Leadership Report

At every annual meeting, a parish elects members to serve in their Vestry. Depending on its bylaws, either the congregation or the Vestry also elects the wardens, secretary, and treasurer. Following that election, the Congregational Leadership Report form should be completed online and sent to the Diocesan Office. Leadership reports are due in to the Diocesan Office from every congregation by March 1st each year. 

Mission congregations have their warden and Bishop's Committee appointed annually by the Bishop. Before submitting their Congregational Leadership Report, they should speak with the Canon to the Ordinary about certifying their Bishop's Committee membership.

Once the forms are on file, the master contact and email list will be changed at Diocesan Office, which, among other things, means that wardens, secretaries, and treasurers will start to receive information about upcoming events, training sessions, etc. Parish administrators, youth ministers, and bookkeepers will also start to receive information pertinent to their ministries throughout the year.

Can I call with changes?
No. In the case of wardens, secretaries, and treasurers, it's a matter of enfranchising and disenfranchising people, so changes must be certified and filled out online. 

Why aren't my new lay leaders receiving the Leadership Newsletter?
It means that we don't have their information on file. Either the parish office hasn't sent them in or they were never received. Please resubmit your Church Leadership Report.

When is the Church Leadership Report due into the Diocesan Office?
The Church Leadership Report is due no more than 30 days after the election or appointment of your congregation's wardens, secretary, and treasurer. (The diocesan deadline each year is March 1.)
