http://www2.pcusa.org/demographics/ Research Services of the PCUSA is offering demographic maps of our church communities on the web.
This provides helpful information to your churches as they do mission studies.
Once churches post CIFs to Church Leadership Connection in their pastor search, a link is also made to Research Services' data on that congregation (membership and giving trends) and it appears as graphs. This is very helpful to prospective pastors who are checking out "Opportunity Search".
http://www.pcusa.org/oga/perspectives/index.htm The Office of the General Assembly would like to announce an addition to their website called Perspectives. Perspectives is an online magazine designed to examine Presbyterian Church life with new eyes - to engage the Bible and our theology in exploring issues facing the Church - to utilize a constitutional and confessional framework for appreciating the ambiguities we face - to rediscover new avenues from the lessons of history that enable us to comprehend contemporary situations. They will feature a column written by either the General Assembly Moderator or the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly.
http://www.pcusa.org/oga/index.htm Provides information about PCUSA Publications, News, General Assembly, GANC info, the Seal, Statistics and Constitutional Services.
