The PCC

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the group which manages the running of the Church. Members are charity trustees and as such have legal duties and responsibilities. All activities carried out in connection with St John’s are under the responsibility of the PCC – including Church Services, fundraising events, children’s groups, social events etc.

The PCC meets every two months. In addition, an annual Parish Meeting and Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) are held in about April or May to review the previous year, and to carry out other required functions including selecting new members.

The current members can be found on our Who’s Who page including:

The Resident Minister and Benefice Vicar

Licensed by the Diocesan Bishop to oversee the running of the local church.

Churchwardens

Elected by the people of the parish each year. Their primary duties are to co-operate with the minister and to represent the laity, but they also have several other legal duties.

Deanery Synod Representatives

Elected at the APCM every 3 years. They represent the parish at the deanery synod (a forum for local Church of England churches), as well as represent the synod at PCC meetings.

Elected Members

Elected at the APCM every 3 years (with 1/3 being re-elected each year). They are a broad cross section of the church and represent the electorate to the PCC.
