The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the body of people in St Michael's responsible for the management of the church with the Vicar and Churchwardens.
The PCC is elected by those who are on the electoral roll of the church at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in April. The PCC meets bi-monthly on the second Monday of the month.
Much of the work of the PCC is delegated to sub committees who deal with Human Resources, Youth and Children, World Mission and Fabric (church building care and maintenance). There is also a Standing and Finance Committee which is made up of the chairs of the sub-committees and other PCC officers.
This committee meets on the first Monday of each month and has the authority of the PCC to carry out all its functions between PCC meetings.
The sub committees meet regularly, and welcome input from members of the congregation. If you want to get in touch with any member of the PCC, please do so through the PCC secretary:

Churchwardens
The Churchwardens (St Michael's unusually has 4), are the Bishop's Officers in St Michael's and are the senior Lay (non Clergy) people. They are responsible with the Vicar for the smooth running of the church, for order in our services and for the land and property owned by the church. They are all members of the PCC and are elected annually at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in April. Churchwardens are allowed to serve for a maximum of 6 terms consecutively before they must retire for at least a year before being re-elected.

PCC Digest from 14 September 2009
Digest from PCC meetings on September 11th, 12th and 14th
The PCC had a weekend of meetings to look at various future
plans.
Roger and Matthew have been working on a Vision for St
Michael's for the next ten years and this was discussed but not finalised
yet.
We discussed identification and training of leaders in the
church and how to introduce medium sized groups between cells and congregations
where people from outside the church could be included more easily.
It was agreed to set up a Church Initiative Team to advise
on any new initiatives members wish to develop.
The PCC received a report about G2 and decided to have a
GivingAwayDay in November instead of the normal Gift Day where all the money
raised would be given to causes outside St Michael's.
Frequently Asked Questions about the PCC
Why would I want to contact the PCC?
You might want to give your opinion on some area of the work of the church. You might want to make a suggestion of an area in which the church should be working. Perhaps you have a complaint to make about something in the church. You might be considering short-term mission work for the church. You might have an interest in a particular area of the work of one of the sub-commitees. Or perhaps you would like to consider becoming a member of the PCC.
How do I contact the PCC?
Via the PCC Secretary who is the Head of Operations and based at the Parish Centre. Telephone 01904 624190 and ask to speak to the Head of Operations or email:

Can anyone be on the PCC of the church?
There are some restrictions on age and you have to be on the electoral roll of the church, but basically anyone who is committed to St Michael’s can stand for election to the PCC.
Does the PCC change each year?
A third of the PCC members have to retire each year. Of these, some may choose to stand for re-election. So there are always some new members of the PCC each year, but some people may be re-elected several times and therefore be on the PCC for many years.
Are all the staff on the PCC?
No. Staff members on the PCC are the clergy, the Head of Operations, the Finance Manager, the Director of Music & Worship and the Youth and Children's co-ordinators (basically the senior staff team of the church). The staff are not elected members of the PCC and do not vote (apart from the Clergy).
