Churchwardens & the PCC
There are lots more people who use their gifts in the life of the church.
Two of these are our Churchwardens, Hilary Collard and Martin Galvin who have particular responsibilities. They are also part of a wider team – the PCC (Parochial Church Council) who act as Trustees for the church.
Most PCC members are elected at the Annual General Meeting.
You can find the names of current PCC members here.
