St Mary’s Parochial Church Council (PCC)
The PCC, working closely with the Rector, is responsible for the overall wellbeing, practical as well as spiritual, of the Church, the church members and church buildings. The PCC also has a duty to promote the mission of the Church within the wider community. Church Members are encouraged to stand for election to the Parochial Church Council (PCC) providing a balance of skills and experience.
The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission (No 1138070) under the Charities Act 2011. Its governing document is the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956. Membership is determined under the new Church Representation Rules 2020. Membership consists of the Rector, ex-officio members, Churchwardens, Lay Readers, Members of Deanery Synod and up to twelve members of the Church who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) or later co-opted during the year.
PCC members take the lead along with members of the congregation on a number of issues: developing our mission; safeguarding; finance; health and safety; outward giving; fabric; churchyard; barn centre; pastoral care; special events such as the Christmas Tree Festival.
Dates of 2021 PCC Meetings: 17th March, 19th May, 14th July, 22nd September, 24th November
