A parochial church council is the executive committee of a Church of England and consists of clergy and churchwardens of the parish, together with representatives of the laity.
The PCC is responsible for the financial affairs of the churches in its parish, and the care and maintenance of church fabric and contents as well as having a duty to consult together on matters of general concern and importance to the parish, and to co-operate in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. This includes almost everything to do with the church’s work in the parish, and its relationship with the deanery and the diocese. PCC members are also trustees, which entails various responsibilities under charity law.
