The Parochial Church Council

The Parochial Church Council - PCC - is responsible for the church's finances and for the care and maintenance of the building. It shares the vicar's responsibility for promoting the mission of the Church in the Parish, has a voice on the forms of service we use and can represent the views of the Parish to the Bishop.

The PCC is made up of members elected each year by the congregation and, ex officio, the Vicar, Churchwardens and Parish representatives on the Deanery and Diocesan Synods. St Paul’s PCC meets every two months and is chaired by the Vicar.

All members of the congregation are encouraged to become members of the PCC and become involved in the decision-making at St Paul’s. The term of PCC membership is 3 years and new faces are always encouraged. Some of our members have come on and off the PCC many times depending on their other work life commitments. If you would like to consider becoming a PCC member please talk to one of the current members or the Vicar.

St. Paul's has six groups which meet in between PCC's and each is chaired by a PCC member but all members of the congregation are encouraged to be involved in the groups.
