What is the Parochial Church Council (PCC)?
The running of our parish is the joint responsibility of the vicar and the Parochial Church Council (PCC), which is made up of the parish clergy and elected representatives from our congregation. As such, the PCC is our church’s governing body and also the board of trustees which oversees the church’s charitable works and finances.
The powers and duties of PCCs are laid down in law. Key duties are to co-operate with the vicar in promoting the mission of the Church in the parish and to be responsible for the financial affairs of the church and the care and maintenance of the church fabric and its contents.
As of May 2026 the PCC consists of 24 members. This is made up of 13 lay members elected to stand for three years on a rolling basis, three clergy who are ex-officio members and eight wardens. The wardens represent the Minster church itself – 5 – and the wardens of the daughter churches – 3.
