Church Leadership
The PCC
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) plays a vital role in the life and mission of our parish.
It works alongside the Vicar to promote the whole mission of the Church — pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical — within the parish and beyond.
The PCC is also responsible for managing the church’s finances, maintaining the church building, and ensuring that all legal and charitable obligations are met.
Governance:
The PCC is a corporate body governed by Church of England legislation and registered as a charity under the Charities Act 2011. This means it operates in accordance with both church law and charity law, with a commitment to transparency and good stewardship.
Meet the PCC members
Typically, the Minister chairs the PCC. Our Treasurer is filling this role during the current interregnum. Knowing who represents you on the PCC helps strengthen our church community.
