The PCC
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a group of elected volunteers who, with the vicar, oversee the life of the church
to ensure we are focussed on the mission Jesus calls us to. We aim to prayerfully seek God’s will, discuss and work well together, reflect our Christian beliefs and take gospel-centred action for the present and the future.
Latest PCC Update
These were the main subjects discussed at the September and October PCC meetings:
Harvest (which has happened) and Christmas schedules were organised.
At the recent Deanery Synod we were encouraged to make our buildings more accessible and welcoming to people with disabilities and we hope to improve the car park. The deanery also hopes to have a part-time youth worker for the smaller churches.
In October we were pleased to hear that Tom and many other Bible-believing candidates in Chichester diocese had been elected to general Synod.
Various repair works are required at St John’s (stonework) and St Nicholas (woodwork). The quotes for these have been accepted so they should progress soon. The back stairs in the Centre will be redecorated over half-term.
Kim is working full-time leading the families and youth work as Richard is training for ordination.
As ever, the full minutes are available from the Office. Please continue to pray for PC members to have wisdom and discernment as they make decisions.

Annual Reports – Presented to the APCM in April 2026
During 2023, the PCC prayed into a restructuring that delegates more responsibilities to Teams (sub-committees) that would meet to pray, discuss and report back to the PCC. The hope is that more people can be involved in running the Church, and the PCC has more time for our longer-term aims and vision.
