PC(USA) does not have sufficient information to make an accurate interpretation for all "zero" responses. Here are some of the uses for "zero" in the Church Trends tables. Zero is the valid response for this question. There are no members in this group, no finances to report, etc. The information was not available at the time that the report is filed. The question was missed or skipped. No Session Annual Statistical Report was filed. Note: Not all congregations report their memberships' racial ethnic and age information. The source for Church Trends data is the Session Annual Statistical Report.
