WELS Statistical Report

Each year congregations submit statistics to the synod which are compiled into a comprehensive report to show trends regarding ministry and membership, education, and offerings, among other things. A hardcopy of the Statistical Report is sent to every active and retired called worker. Electronic versions of the latest and previous reports can be found at the bottom of this page.

Remember, "Statistics are like lamp posts; they are often used for support rather than light." As you experiment with the online statbook, please be cautious about the conclusions you draw.
