Reporting Information
Each year, all congregations are asked to submit information via the Parochial Report and Congregation Report. The deadline to submit your reports is March 1, 2024.
Parochial Report
There have been changes to the parochial report, and should you have any questions, or need help logging into the website please contact reports@epiok.org.
?The parochial report must be filed online HERE and is due March 1, 2024.
Please file your report online. You do not need to mail your report to the diocesan office.
Congregation Report
The congregation report is critical: to ensure the Diocese has contact information for Church leadership, which includes clergy and lay leaders, to ensure effective communication on important events, guidelines and issues that arise.
The Congregation report must be filed online HERE no later than March 1, 2024.
Other items to keep in mind:
The Parochial Report is based on 2023 financial information and may be signed and approved by the existing vestry/bishop’s committee; there is no need to wait for the Annual Meeting if this occurs late in the first quarter.
The number of Lay delegates each church is entitled to can be found HERE.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please call (405) 437-0482 or email reports@epiok.org.
