The Parochial Church Council (PCC)

The Parish Church Council (the PCC) is the main decision making body in the parish. Members are elected at the Annual General Meeting, which is held in April each year. Anyone registered on the Electoral Roll of the parish is allowed to vote, or to stand for election.
You can be added to the Electoral Roll at any time, by contacting the Electoral Roll Officer: (office.morpethparish@gmail.com)

The Standing Committee of the PCC is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the P.C.C. between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. Its members are usually the Incumbent, Church Wardens, the Hon. Treasurer, Electoral Roll Organiser and at least two lay elected PCC members/Deanery Synod representatives. The Parish Secretary is ex-officio and takes Minutes of the meetings.. 

The church family at St. Mary's, St. James and St. Aidan's seeks to be intentionally local and endeavours to meet together regularly to discuss church issues and develop ways to grow the kingdom of God.
