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.
