PCC
Parochial Church Council (PCC)The PCC, or Parochial Church Council, is a corporate body with charitable status. It comprises both clergy and lay (i.e. not clergy!) members of the church, and therefore has both those elected by members of the Church Electoral Roll and others who sit on the PCC by virtue of a particular office they hold within the church. Together they are responsible for the overall wellbeing, practical as well as spiritual, of our church, our church members and the church buildings. It is responsible for all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including deciding how funds are spent. The PCC also has a duty to promote the mission of the church within the wider community. The PCC has Officer roles – a Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary. These are usually elected to office at its first meeting after the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). The minutes from the last PCC meeting are on the noticeboard in the entrance to church for anyone to read and respond to. Approved minutes from recent PCC meetings are also available below (but there will be a timelag because they are not approved until the next meeting i.e. minutes for the May meeting are not approved until the next meeting in July). Please talk to a PCC member if you have any queries. PCC members from 15th October 2020 are as follows:
There is also a Business Committee which sets the agenda for the PCC meeting. PCC Update (June 2018)The past six months have been an exciting time for your Church Council and we want to share some of this with you and invite you to join with us in working towards what we believe the Lord is calling us to. We have been seeking to discern the priorities for our mission and how best to organise the PCC to lead the church to deliver on these priorities. We remain committed to Jesus’ commission to make disciples of all nations by reaching out with the love of God, being built up in the word of God and sent out to make his love known. However we have identified three strategic areas for ministry as a church over the next decade and alongside this there are four immediate concerns for us to attend to: What this means is that the PCC will no longer have a Reach / Build / Send Committee structure, but task groups championed by PCC members, looking to involve the whole Church membership in service in these exciting times ahead. We would love you all to prayerfully consider which of these areas most excites you and for which your particular gifts may equip you and then to be in touch with the relevant named person. The three priority areas are:
