Parochial Church Council (PCC)

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the primary committee involved in the running of our Church and meets about eight times a year on weekday evenings. It consists of the vicar, churchwardens and a number of elected members. It forms an official, elected body that shares responsibility for the Parish with the vicar and provides an opportunity for parishioners to contribute to the running and direction of All Saints Weston. The PCC is not simply about money or building projects. Anything and everything to do with the Church's work - forms of service, community projects and outreach, for example - may be debated.
Elections for membership of the PCC are held at the Annual Meeting of Parishioners (APCM). Nomination sheets for membership of the PCC can be found on the noticeboard at the back of the Church about four weeks before the APCM.

If you would like to find out more about becoming a member of the PCC please click here. In particular, All Saints is a registered charity and all PCC members become trustees of the charity. Please click here to find out more about the legal implications of becoming a trustee.

The PCC is supported by a number of teams, each one concerned with the detail of a particular aspect of the work and running of our Church: For more information see the Teams page

To be a member of the PCC, you need to be over 16, a communicant (i.e. baptised and confirmed) and listed on the electoral roll of All Saints Weston.

Annual Meeting of Parishioners (APCM)
This meeting takes place in March or April each year and provides an opportunity for parishioners to hear about the work of All Saints Weston and to ask questions. Our annual accounts are presented by the Treasurer. Reports are presented by the vicar, churchwardens, sub-committees of the PCC, groups involved in the functioning of the Church such as servers, sidesmen, flower arrangers, and by organisations affiliated to us, such as the scouts, guides and Mothers' Union.

To attend the meeting, you need to be on the electoral roll of All Saints Weston.
