What is the PCC?
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the governing body of a parish church. It is:
- A charity and as such must comply with all charity laws.
- A legal body, recognised in law and governed by the Church Representation Rules
- A team of clergy and lay members of a local church.
What is the purpose of the PCC?
- It exists to enable the church to play its part in God’s mission to his world.
- It exists to co-operate with the minister in sharing leadership.
- It exists to ensure legal compliance with charity law and ecclesiastical law, in particular in the areas of safeguarding, finance, employment and appointments.
- It exists to care for the buildings and churchyard so that they may be best suited for the purpose of the church’s ministry and mission.
- It exists to be a channel of consultation within the wider Church through its synodical structures on matters that affect the Church locally and nationally.
