February 1, 2017


Good Morning Metropolitan District, 

As of January 30, 2017 only 6 churches have completed/updated their Online Charge Conference Leadership Report. (If you received this email and have already completed your update, thank you - please disregard this message.) Each church is responsible for submitting this information. Emails containing instructions on how to log in and/or access the site have been sent over the past few weeks. Information can also be found on the conference website.

Please view the information below and update your Online Charge Conference Leadership Report as soon as possible. There is assistance available if you need it. If you have already updated your church's information, be sure to press the blue bar to 'let us know.'

Thank you. 


New Online Charge Conference Leadership Report / Dashboard

This is the online tool that each church will use to report church leadership to their charge conference. It is also the tool that allows the church to make changes to the information that appears in the Church Locator on the www.nyac.com web site. 

To log in

The log-in screen for the dashboard is located here: http://www.nyac.com/dashboard

 

Use your church GCFA number without the first zero as BOTH your username and password.

If you don’t know your GCFA number, it can be found in the statistical section of the Journal (column 1):

The Rest of the Process

Now that you are logged in, we think you'll find the rest of the process quite simple. We have created a manual for your use in updating your leadership information and the information on your church page on www.nyac.com. Click here to download the manual.

Required Fields

There are required fields for each person added to a leadership role, and required leadership roles. Please see the list below, and be sure that you have all of the information needed when you sit down to fill out this form.

Required fields for each person

Title
First Name
Last Name
Mailing address, city, state, zip
One phone number
Email address (If the church leader does not have an email address, please use the church email address. Keep in mind that if you do this, all emails to the church email address that are applicable to that church leadership position need to be printed and given to that person.)

Required leadership positions

Lay Member of Conference
Church Admin/Council Chair
Treasurer
Finance Chair
Staff/Pastor-Parish Relations Chair
Board of Trustees Chair

Information for Multi-Church Charges

Although this form is entitled "Charge Conference Summary," each church in the charge needs to supply the information in the dashboard for that church. If a position is filled only on the charge level (Lay Member to Conference, for example), please be sure to select that person only in the leadership report for the church where they attend. 

What will the Conference do with this information?

  • Lay members will receive the Call to Conference each year, along with email communications regarding annual conference.
  • Treasurers and finance chairs will receive important information from our conference CFO or others in the department.
  • Chairs/leaders of certain committees will receive targeted email messages applicable to their position.
  • Folks within the conference and districts will be able to reach out to your leaders in appropriate, position-specific ways.
  • Email addresses will only be shared with conference staff, committees and for use as described above.
