Statistics for Mission Returns 2025
The online system is open for churches to upload their 2025 Statistics for Mission data.
Access the Parish Returns System here.
The Statistics for Mission returns are about membership and attendance in our churches. The information collected provides the latest figures on attendance at church services and the numbers of baptisms, marriages and funerals that have taken place. The great advantage of the online system is that it allows parish users to input their data directly into a common database, giving them easy access to their historic parish records.
If you have already registered for an account, you can log in directly to the system, if not, you need to register first by emailing Statistics@LeicesterCofE.org for your username and password. If you are unsure how to fill in the form, you can watch the videos here that show you how to fill in the form or use the online portal.

Parish Dashboards
Each year the Church of England Research and Statistics Team create 'Parish Dashboards' from the data submitted. Dashboards are a visual way of putting your church’s statistics and can be a helpful tool for reflecting upon where God is at work and where you are at as a church. If you’d like to receive your church’s dashboard then please email Statistics@LeicesterCofE.org and we will send it out to you.
Statistics for Mission reports offer details of numerical growth and decline across the Diocese of Leicester, what that looks like, and what we have noticed God is doing in our diocese.
The reports present the fruit of a lot of hard work from Churchwardens, Church leaders and staff in the diocesan office.
It is very useful to read the reports in the context of the Vision and Purpose document, which offers three key questions for all PCCs to consider in relation to growth in this diocese. The key insights and main headlines of the reports are also helpful for an overview.
