    2022 Statistical Reports due March 17

    February 15, 2023 / By Bob Flask, UNY Treasurer

    This is a reminder that the deadline for your local church 2022 statistical report is due no later than March 17, 2023. In addition, this process is now done through the new General Council on Finance and Administration (GCF&A) system called ACStats. EZRA is no longer being used; however, it will still contain prior year data that has also been migrated over to the new ACStats platform. If you have not yet accessed the ACStats platform, below is a reminder of how to initially log in:

    Here is the Default Churches login information:

       LINK to new platform:      https://stats.gcfa.org/

               Username:      <your 6-digit GCF&A Number>

               Password:        ACStats2022!

    After logging in with the Default, on the “Local Identification/Registry” page, click the button that says “I’M NOT LISTED.”

    • That is where you can enter your new login info: email/password that you will use the next time you log in.

    PLEASE NOTE:  You cannot use the same email address twice for two different churches/users.

    (Example: A pastor who uses the same email address for two different churches.)

    The system will allow this second user to be created but then it will delete the password for the previously made firstuser and won’t allow you to login under that first user. Please be sure to use a different address for your second/third churches.

    Also: After you login for the first time, you will no longer need to use the default GCF&A number or default password. You will use your email address and new password you created.

    **We have noticed there are discrepancies with some of the church details. The stats database had to use past data to get up and running. However, we are working with GCFA on getting it updated as soon as possible, but this may take a month or so. You can still submit your stats data in ACStats. Just verify your church name and GCF&A number.

    Our other Conference and District database uses the correct church details. This seems to only be an issue with the new ACStats platform.
