Morpeth Parochial Church Council

The parochial church council (PCC) is the executive committee of a Church of England parish and consists of clergy and churchwardens of the parish, together with elected representatives of the laity. It has its origins in the vestry committee, which looked after both religious and secular matters in a parish. It is a corporate charitable body.

Legally the council is responsible for the financial affairs of the church parish and the maintenance of its assets, such as churches and church halls. It also assists the clergy in the management of church affairs in the parish, and promoting the mission of the church.
