Mission Community Council

Although each parish within our Mission Community has its own PCC (Parochial Church Council) and is responsible for its own finances and appointment of officers, we also have a Mission Community Council that meets quarterly. This comprises two members from each Parish; a secretary; a treasurer and the Mission Community clergy.

The Council is chaired by a member (other than clergy) and various matters are discussed including joint worship, social events and sharing of common concerns.

Through the Council strong and friendly links are strengthened across the Mission Community and help to extend our work in furthering the Kingdom of God.  We also review and update our Mission Action Plan on a regular basis.

Meetings often have invited guest speakers and cover a wide range of subjects that are of interest to the Mission Community.
