The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the executive committee of our parish and consists of clergy and churchwardens of the parish, together with twelve representatives of the laity elected each year at our Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). The parish is a charity and the PCC is a corporate charitable body.

The powers and duties of the PCC are laid down by the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956. They include the duty to co-operate with the minister (currently our Priest in Charge) “in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.”

The PCC is responsible for the financial affairs of the church, and the care and maintenance of the church fabric and its contents. The PCC also has a voice in the forms of service used by the church and may make representations to the bishop and deanery synod on matters affecting the welfare and pastoral care of the parish.

The PCC is required to appoint a church electoral roll officer who maintains the church electoral roll of lay members entitled to take part in the annual parochial church meeting. A new roll must be prepared every 6 years, and revised annually.

Our PCC meets around six times a year to conduct the business of the parish. We’re keen that our activity is not seen as secret, so we share our meeting agenda, minutes and key supporting documents in this part of our website.

If you’ve any questions, please direct them initially to our PCC Secretaries (Alison & Rosemary) at pccsecretary@htscf.org.uk
