“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace.” 1 Peter 4:10
The PCC is a team of church members who prayerfully serve with the vicar to guide and support the life, ministry and mission of All Saints. Together, they seek to honour God, remain faithful to his Word, care for the church family, steward the church’s resources wisely, and help share the hope of Jesus with our community.
As the governing body of the parish, the PCC is responsible for supporting the practical and spiritual life of the church, helping to ensure that All Saints continues to grow as a faithful, welcoming and Christ-centred community.
