Up-to-date statistical information is essential for the Synod as it plans current and future ministry efforts. Such information is also critical for determining proper voting representation at conventions. The Mid-South District office is available to assist you during this process and to encourage full participation.
The Mid-South District has the link listed under the Resources menu with the Ministry Partner links.
New Online Tool

Over the
coming year additional features will be added for reporting updates to:
