Parochial Church Council (PCC)

WHAT IS A PCC?

The  PCC is the official and executive governing body of a Church of England Parish.  Our PCC serves the Parish of Dilton Marsh and Brokerswood.   

By law, every PCC in the Church of England functions as a registered charity. Members of the council act as charity trustees and are legally responsible for the parish finances, property and assets maintenance, parish mission and safeguarding.  For more information about the rules and responsibilities of a PCC, please read the introduction leaflet below.

STANDING COMMITTEE

The standing committee meet when a short notice decision is required.
The membership is comprised of: Clergy, Churchwardens, Safeguarding Officer, Treasurer and PCC Secretary.

As we are a member of the White Horse Team Ministry, the Standing Committees of Dilton Marsh and Westbury occasionally come together as The White Horse Team Council.

CHURCH POLICIES

There are various policies in place and they are reviewed every year in March.  Hard copies of all polices have been signed by hand and filed securely.  We are in the process of uploading all the policies to the website - please visit the White Horse Team policy page here for more information.

ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING (APCM)

In the first quarter in the year we hold a Meeting of the Parishoners (where churchwardens are elected) and a separate Annual Parochial Church Meeting for members on the Electrol Roll.  It is at the APCM where any new nominations for the PCC are raised (and accepted).

In preparation for the APCM meeting, a report is produced and shared with church members, at least two weeks beforehand, to enable them to ask any questions at the meeting. The report includes updates from Clergy, Church Wardens and members of the PCC, together with updates about our groups and services. At the back of the report we have a separate Treasurers Report.
