PCC of All Saints Church,Weston, Bath 

A parochial church council (PCC) is the executive committee of a Church of England Church and consists of clergy and churchwardens of the parish, together with representatives of the congregation.  Every PCC is also a Charity and so it’s members are also trustees. Our Registered Charity number is at the footer of our website.

Legally the council is responsible for the financial affairs of the church parish and the maintenance of its assets, such as churches and church halls. It also assists the clergy in the management of church affairs in the parish, and promoting the mission of the church. The PCC also has a voice in the forms of service used by the church and may make representations on matters affecting the welfare and pastoral care of the parish.

The makeup of a PCC is set out in the Church Representation Rules. To be an elected representative of the congregation, a person must be a communicant, aged 16 or over, and must have been on the church electoral roll for at least 6 months unless under 18, they must be nominated and seconded by persons on the roll.
You can read more about being on the Electoral Roll here.

All Saints PCC meets around ten times a year. There is a list of current members on our staff and leadership page here, and the minutes of the meetings are publicly available (on request) after the have been approved by the PCC.  The PCC delegates areas of work to a number of subcommittees: The Standing Committee, The Missions Team, The Building Committee, The Facilities Management Group, The Community Outreach Committee.

WHY MIGHT I WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Whilst PCC meetings include lots of different things, one of the most exciting things that they do is to help discern and respond to God’s call for the church, parish and use of it’s resources.
