Data Services
Our Pleasure to Serve Your Ministry

Our United Methodist churches have records that contain vital information, such as demographics, contact information, and appointment histories. Our Data Services team manages those records, keeping in close contact with conferences and agencies to ensure that records are current and intact. Our data helps give a clear picture of the health and history of individual churches, conferences, and The United Methodist Church as a whole.   

Journal Submissions

GCFA hosted a Zoom meeting regarding journal submissions, requesting any annual conferences who have not yet submitted their most recent journals to do so by October 15, 2026. GCFA is planning to publish regional conference statistical details to UMData.org by August 15, 2026.
