‘The Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 defines the functions and powers of a PCC. Under the amended Measure, the principal function of the PCC is “promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.”  Thus PCC Members have significant responsibilities for the local mission of the Church, and effective team working lies at the heart of any successful PCC. As a PCC Member, and trustee, you can make a real difference to your local church – to its aims and direction, its mission and vision,
finances and the employment of any staff.’   (Church of England)
