Community of Faith Documents due for 2025
It is that time of year to work on your Community of Faith’s Annual Report and to complete the Community of Faith Self-Assessment Checklist as well as your updated Community of Faith Profile.
Annual Report
Your Annual Report should be uploaded to your Community of Faith’s account on ChurchHub. If you are unsure how to do this, please see this helpful how-to article here.
You will also need to update the officer roles including your Regional Lay Representative for your Community of Faith’s ChurchHub account. Here is a handy video from the UCC on how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHsoNoQh8jo. There is also further information on the regional websites; ARW, HFRC and WOW.
Please email a copy of your annual report to your respective Congregational Support Minister at; HFCSM@united-church.ca, ARWCSM@united-church.ca, WOWCSM@united-church.ca.
Your report will be reviewed by members of your Regional Congregational Support Commission.
