APCM

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the elected body that works closely with the clergy team and wardens in enabling the church to play its part in God’s mission in the world. The primary role of the PCC is to help promote the mission of the church, including pastoral, social, evangelistic and ecumenical. They are consulted about major changes within the church and are vital in overseeing the use of church funds and the care and maintenance of the church buildings and contents. The PCC has legal status, is registered with the Charity Commissioners and follows the Church Representation Rules (established in 1969 with an amended addition published in 2020).

The PCC meets 6 times a year and is made up of the clergy, church wardens and lay representatives of the church who are elected at the annual parochial church meeting (typically held in April) by members of the parish who are on the parish electoral roll. To be elected onto the PCC, nominees must be at least sixteen years of age, an actual communicant and on the electoral roll of this parish for at least six months. Proposers and seconders must also be on the parish electoral roll.

This year we have the following vacancies:
5 local three year PCC posts
1 local one year PCC post
7 three year Deanery posts
1 Church Warden post
If you would like to nominate someone to be a member of Parochial Church Council, please use the relevant form below and return to the church office by Wednesday 15th April. The two church warden vacancies will also formally be elected/re-elected at the Meeting of Parishioners immediately preceding the APCM.
