Parochial Church Council and Blackheath District
Church Council.
The
PCC has the overall responsibility for co-operating with the Vicar in promoting
in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social
and ecumenical: The Vicar & PCC
operate together as the Leadership Team of Ministry in
the Parish. It is constituted under
the Church Representation Rules. Blackheath, whilst not a separate legal
entity, was created under statute of the PCC with its own Electoral Roll and
District Church Council. The PCC also has the maintenance responsibilities for

The
PCC meets every two months (see Programme PCC
& DCC), and is supported by the work of the Standing Committee and four
main PCC teams plus Blackheath DCC.
There are two additional important teams which deal with key areas of
our ministry. Teams include members from
within and beyond the PCC. The teams
meet in the alternate months and report at PCC meetings, providing regular Team Reports to the PCC bringing important matters
for decision.
