Our PCC (Parochial Church Council) is a group of people who are part of the church and give their time and energy to making us the best community we can be. Technically it is the executive committee of a Church of England parish and consists of clergy and churchwardens of the parish, together with representatives of the laity. 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, and promoting the mission of the church.
