PCC and Electoral Roll
Our PCC, or Parochial Church Council, acts as a board of trustees for the church, helping to make decisions, guide the direction and vision of the church, look after finances and help make the church a safe and accessible place of worship and community.
Membership of the Electoral Roll is a sign of belonging to the church and allows you to vote, nominate or stand for election to the church council.
The revision of the Roll is now complete and a copy (names only) may be viewed in church or by clicking this button.
The Electoral Roll is now closed until after the APCM (Annual Parochial Council Meeting – effectively the church’s AGM) on Sunday 19th April.
Annual Parochial Church Meeting
Sunday 19th April
Our 2026 Annual Church Meeting and Vestry Meeting will be held in the Church on Sunday 19 April 2026, integrated with the 10am Parish Communion. Refreshments will be served after the service.
The Annual Report is available here and through the weekly emailed Parish Newsletter. A print out or email copy of this report is available on request from PCC Secretary Caroline Daniels pcc@christchurchepsom.org.uk.
The Income and Expenditure Analysis for 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025 and proposed budget have not been included in the annual report.
Please take time to read the Annual Report as much of this extensive – and important – written material will be taken as read and thus introduced only briefly during the meeting. Thank you to all who have contributed.
If there are any questions you want to raise at the meeting, please put these in the box at the back of the Church over the preceding Sundays. Questions can also be emailed to Caroline Daniels pcc@christchurchepsom.org.uk.
In order to allow sufficient time to prepare responses to questions, a closing date of Sunday 12th April is respectfully requested.
As usual, part of the Meeting’s purpose is the election of:
- Two Churchwardens to serve for 2025-26. Fay will be standing down after four years of service. David is willing to be re-elected for his second year of service. Therefore we have one church warden vacancy.
- The Triennial Election by parishes of lay members to the Deanery Synod will take place at the Annual Parochial Meeting this year. Under the Church Representation Rules, the number of lay members elected by parishes to deanery synods is determined by a resolution of the diocesan synod related to the number of the electoral role at the Annual Meeting in the previous year. We have an allocation of up to four places.
- The electoral roll 2026 will determine the number of laity PCC members and vacancies.
Nomination forms for Church Warden, Deanary Synod and PCC representatives and role information are available to download and are also available at the back of the Church.
Please ask Sue, the Church Wardens or any PCC representatives if you would like to know more about serving in any of these valuable roles.
The Annual Meeting is a time for reflection and moving forward in serving our Church and the wider community. I can thoroughly recommend serving as an opportunity to learn more about the running of the Parish, for deepening fellowship, and personal growth as we discern together God’s purpose for us.
Caroline Daniels, PCC Secretary
