Church Update (incorporating Annual Returns)

The Church Update is available for church officers to view the data we hold for their church and to supply details of church membership through the Annual Returns. Church Secretaries will have received an email including login details on 18 January 2023. Login to the system is not transferable. Therefore if your church secretary/administrator has changed please email churchupdate@baptist.org.uk to request a new link to the system.
