Are you a regular member of the congregation, willing to give some time to managing the practical aspects of church life, and helping lead the spiritual vision for growth?
Then please consider offering yourself for election to the PCC.
You would become a trustee of the charity, and have a chance to shape and enrich the life of your church. We meet four times a year, and PCC members also take a lead in church activities and in supporting and advising the Vicar.
Elections happen at the Annual Meeting and APCM held in May – in 2026 they’re on May 3rd. To participate in the elections you need to be on the Electoral Roll. If you’re not on, please fill in this form and send it to Chloë Lewis, Parish Administrator.
You can be elected under one of three headings:
- elected member of the laity – you need to have been on the Electoral Roll for six months and will serve a term of one year – please complete this form and send it to Chloë
- member of the house of laity of Wandsworth Deanery Synod – again you have to have been on the Electoral Roll for six months – we send two representatives to the Deanery, which is the next layer of governance above us in the wider Church of England – DS representatives are elected every three years, and 2026 is an election year – this role involves both belonging to the PCC and also attending DS meetings and participating in Deanery activities -if you’re interested it’s this form and send to Chloë
- Churchwarden – this ancient office carries considerable responsibilities for the building and for advising the Vicar and guiding the life of the church – elected again for a one year term, renewable for a total of six years – to be nominated please complete this form and send it to Chloë
