Important information for NYAC Pastors, Finance Committee Chairs, Local Church Treasurers, Trustee Treasurers, and Membership Chairs:

Welcome to the Tables Preparation Process: Submitting Local Church Statistical Data

The GCFA reporting Tables I, II, and III will open on Sunday, January 1, 2023.
The deadline for reporting is Tuesday, January 31, 2023.

Please note that EZRA Has retired and we have transitioned to the Chronicles Platform. Please read the instructions carefully to see what has changed. To enter your statistics please click here to enter the new system or visit the Chronicles platform directly at  https://stats.gcfa.org/

Login Instructions, Overview and Essential Documents 

Your church username is the church GCFA number (including the "0"). That will be a total of six digits.

EXAMPLE: If your General Council on Finance and Administration (GCFA) church number is 099999, the username will be 099999. Click here to locate your GCFA and local church number. The initial password for both the pastor and the office is NYAC341! (NYAC must be capital letters with no space). 

Documents that will be needed during this process for your understanding and preparation are noted below for direct download: 

• Chronicles Statistics Church User Guide with log-on instructions and a detailed overview of how to use the GCFA Website.
   
• Line-by-Line Statistical Table Directions
  
   
• Online Church Attendance Tips from GCFA
  
   
• Blank/Generic Statistical Form Version of the Questions (for Preparation Purposes)
  
   

• Blank preparation documents for Tables I, II & III in English, Korean, and Spanish

  Please note that any data inserted in these preparation documents must be transferred to the GCFA Web site's tables. You must hit the save button every 60 minutes or more often. If you do not save your data for 60 minutes, the system will "time out" or automatically log you off. If this occurs, you will have lost all unsaved data. When the system times out, you will have to log back in and resubmit any data that was not previously saved. Remember, there is no limit on how often or how many times you can save your tables.

Information to be Provided by the NYAC Finance Office

Please be reminded that in Tables II and III, the NYAC Finance Office will complete the lines noted below.
Your local church will not need to complete these lines. Note as well that some of the lines above may be hidden on the GCFA form and input screens, so you may not see some of them.
