Per Capita Information

2011 Per Capita is a

Total of $7.49 per member which is

• $6.50 for the Office of the General Assembly - Operations and Missions (GA per capita will be $6.63 for 2012)
• $1.45 for Synod of the Mid-Atlantic Operations & Missions

The Membership number used to calculate the total Per Capita due for 2011 from each church is the self reported membership as of December 31, 2010. (Each church reports their membership in the annual Statistical Report.) You can find your reported membership number at the PCUSA church locator website (find your church listing then click on Congregational Statistics).

No Per Capita is retained by the Presbytery but is forwarded on to the Office of the General Assembly and to Synod. For 2009 and 2010 Presbytery has changed its policy to send to OGA and Synod only what is received  from members of Presbytery. Formerly (up to 2008) 100% of the Per Capita was paid to GA and Synod regardless of how much was received from the churches, so any unpaid Per Capita had decrease the amount available for Presbytery programming and mission support. This practice has changed temporarily.

Historical Numbers:

2009 Per Capita was $7.60  per member $6.15 for OGA & 1.45 for our Synod
2008 Per Capita was $7.39 per member $5.79 for GA, & 1.60 for Synod
2007 Per Capita was $7.88 (5.79 for GA; $2.09 Synod)
