Accession and Retention Statistics
Arnold Trujillo, vice president
Introduction
The following table provides information for the year indicated on two important indicators of how well Jesus' Great Commission is being fulfilled in the Pacific Union territory. The first indicator is accessions which is the relationship between membership and baptisms/professions-of-faith. The second indicator is retention which is a relationship between accessions and members lost through apostasies and missing. The information is provided for the entire Union (PUC Total) and then disaggregated into the various ethnic groups for the entire Union (African-American, Asian-Pacific Islander, Caucasian, Hispanic). The information is further disaggregated by local conference (Arizona, Central California, Hawaii, Nevada/Utah, Northern California, Southeastern California, Southern California)
