The PCC meets every 2 months and its role is to share oversight of the mission and finances of the church with the Rector and other staff. A wide representation of different ages and ministries is key to making the PCC work well. If you think this is a ministry for you, then speak to a churchwarden/member of staff/Dave Sankey or Janet Gibson. Job descriptions and application forms for the PCC are available in the Foyer. Remember that you must be on the Electoral Roll to stand for the Council.
