CLAINES CHURCH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL (PCC)

The Parochial Church Council, is an executive committee of the parish with powers and duties defined by certain Acts of Parliament. It has the responsibility of co-operating with the vicar in promoting the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, within the parish.

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. The financial affairs are managed on a day-to-day basis by the Treasurer, with the help of the Standing and Finance Committee.

 

 

There are a range of committees for church properties, social, mission and outreach purposes. Each of these committees reports to the PCC.

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. An Annual Parochial Church Meeting must be held before April 30th each year. All who are on the church's  Electoral Roll can attend and may vote for members of the PCC.

Claines Church Electoral Roll Renewal

 

This is the church’s register of electors. If you live or worship in the parish, or wish to marry at the Church it is recommended you apply to be on this. It is renewed every 6 years and no one is carried over, so all will occasionally need to re-apply again to be on the new roll.

 

When on the roll you are qualified to attend and vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. At that you can raise any question of parochial or church interest and be part of the elections for the Parochial Church Council.

 

You can download the application form and notes below. Please print off, fill in and then return  to
