Cost: free for all those completing statistical tables in the Cal-Pac Conference, including pastors, church administrators, and other leaders in the local church
This event is sponsored by the Cal-Pac Conference Treasurer’s Office. Two dates are available for churches to attend.
A frequent question is: “How are apportionments calculated?”
The key is to correctly complete the Tables (statistical data) for your church which is the data used for the apportionment calculation. We will discuss how the statistics are used by the denomination and the conference for ministry and connectional work.
This workshop will guide you on how to enter and submit Tables in the EZRA system. We will review the most common errors and ways to avoid them and how to be accurate in submission so your church does not receive an increase in apportionments due to error(s).
The training will be led by Archana Carey, Conference Treasurer/Executive Director of Finance & Facilities, and Kathy Trcopan, Executive Secretary to the Treasurer.
Zoom Meeting information will be included in your email confirmation and sent to you again before the event.
