The Parish Church Council ( P.C.C.) Vestry

The Parish Church Council, or PCC, is an executive committee of the parish with defined powers and duties.

The membership consists of the clergy and churchwardens of the parish, together with a number of representatives of the laity elected by the AGM of the parish.

The PCC secretary and the treasurer are elected from the PCC. In addition there is an elected Synod Representative and an alternate Synod Representative.

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Formally, the PCC is responsible for the financial affairs of the church and the care and maintenance of the church fabric and its contents.  It also has a voice in the forms of service used by the church and may make representations to the bishop on matters affecting the welfare of the parish.

Although the PCC has ultimate responsibility, it delegates some of this work. There are subcommittees of the PCC that meet at appropriate intervals and feed back to the next PCC meeting

In addition to their formal duties, PCC members act as representatives for all parishioners in the affairs of the church. Apart from the vicar, who is ex-officio chairman, all PCC members are elected directly or indirectly by the parishioners. There is also an elected Synod Representative and an alternate Synod Representative.
