OUR PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL (PCC)
Like any organisation, the church has a team in place to oversee the governance of our buildings, resources, staffing and finances, and this is the role of our Parochial Church Council or PCC
Officially, the principle function of the PCC is to promote in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
Being a member of our church council is a big responsibility and calls for godly brothers and sisters who are committed to Jesus, who love His church, and who, by the power of His Spirit are daily trying to live according to His good news.
The Council meet roughly once a month, with all our meetings being grounded in God’s word and prayer. In addition to this there are opportunities to take on projects throughout the year to help us live for Jesus as a church family. We also set aside time to have fellowship together on away days and social events.
PCC Membership
3 CLERGY AND LICENSED MINISTERS
Our PCC is led by Aneal Appadoo our Vicar. Maggi Jones and Pearl Smith, our Pastoral Workers (SPA) also sit on the PCC, all as ex-officio members.
2 CHURCH WARDENS
Our wardens partner closely with our Vicar to form the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) for our church and are elected to serve for an annual term, though may serve for multiple terms. Our wardens have a special responsibility to help us to be good stewards of our church building, referred to as our ‘fabric’. Currently our wardens are Nigel Turner and Penny Scott.

Deanery Synod
3 DEANERY SYNOD REPRESENTATIVES
In addition to being a full member of our PCC, our Deanery Synod Representatives attend meetings of a wider group with representatives from all the parishes in our Deanery of Reigate. This wider group votes on wider church matters and feeds into Diocesan Synod (in our case Southwark) and thus into General Synod – these are the decision making mechanisms of the wider Church of England
