PCC

St Mark’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) is in effect the management committee of the church.

The Electoral Roll 
This is the list of people who have the right to vote in St Mark’s Annual Church meetings or stand for our church council (or one of the local or national bodies e.g., deanery synod, diocesan synod or General Synod). If you are not already on the electoral roll the form below needs to be completed and returned to Peter Ryder or the church office.  To qualify you need to be baptised, aged 16 or over and either live in the parish or attend worship here regularly.  Worshipping via Zoom also counts.  Please do sign up if you haven’t already because it’s one of the ways the wider church sees how active a parish church is.  For more information ask any of the PCC. 

The roll is now closed for 2024 APCM and can be found here
 
You can join the roll at any time but only those on the 2024 roll can vote at the 2024 APCM.
The Application Form for Enrolment on the Church Electoral Roll is available here(word) and here(pdf).

9-12 members of the congregation (who are on the church electoral roll) are elected every April at the Annual Church meeting to serve alongside ex officio clergy, deanery representatives and churchwardens.

Together we have a key role in shaping the vision, work and development of the church – as well as dealing with more practical and mundane aspects of church life. Meetings can therefore cover a whole range of topics and no two are the same- they are never dull!

The full PCC will meet 9 times during the church year with the subgroups meeting in between.

If you’d like to raise an issue for discussion by the PCC, please contact a member of clergy or a church warden. The latest Annual Report is available here (PDF).
