Yearbook and Directory
**************Breaking News**************
We have extended the deadline to report/input Church data to April 11, 2025. We realize that there have been some issues with the new UCC Database and Directories (Data Hub) that have prevented some churches from entering data.
In addition to extending the deadline, we are also offering another option. Churches can enter all the data that we ask for via a survey format. To utilize this option, please click here.
Entering your Church data directly into the new UCC Database and Directories (DAD) is still an option.

Below, you will find written instructions and reference sheets as well as video tutorials to assist you.

New this year – Online Worship Attendance
Given that over 80% of our churches worshipped online in some capacity, CARDD has opted to include virtual worship figures as part of our yearbook data collection. As you may already be aware, online and in-person worship numbers represent very different things. Whereas in-person worship figures count people, online worship numbers are more complicated. For example, multiple people can view one screen, or worship services can be viewed days/weeks after the actual service, or people may only engage in a service for a few seconds before moving on, or they may even log into the same service multiple times.
For these and many other reasons, we are counting online and in-person worship separately and will plan to continue collecting online worship data in the years ahead. We are also including notes in our Yearbook and in historical documentation to explain some of these differences. Please report in-person and online worship data separately from now on to increase the accuracy of our records.

The United Church of Christ Yearbook and Directory provides statistics as reported by local churches and conferences of the UCC. In addition, the Yearbook serves as an organizational directory including the various offices and persons elected by the General Synod to constitute the United Church of Christ Board of Directors.
