Pensacola District Statistics 

 
 
 
Comparative Snapshot of 2000-2010 - This pdf is a one-page report of 2000-2010 showing all Pensacola District churches' membership and average worship attendance on one page. The Snapshot is based on data submitted by churches on the annual Local Church Report to Annual Conference. 
 
 
Church and Community Profiles Via GBGM
Church and Community Profiles are quick overviews of church statistics and community demographics.  The U.M. Local Church Profile includes yearly membership, church school, and expense trends for the most recent 10 years.  The Community Profile includes population trends, income, length of residence, age distribution, and race/Hispanic data for the church's zip code.  These reports can be obtained interactively online, with the first two being free.  Additional reports can be obtained for a modest fee by contacting the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries Research Office. The Church and Community Profiles are made available in Adobe Acrobat format (PDF).  Click here to download a sample PDF file or visit here.
