Electoral Roll 

The Electoral Roll is now closed until after the APCM.

PCC Nominations

If you are already a member of the electoral roll and have been for at least 6 months, (or are 16-18 and have just joined), you are also eligible to stand as a member of our Church Council known as the PCC. The PCC help the vicar with the leadership of the church and have a voice and say in the use of finance, the employment of staff and strategic decisions of the church. This group also includes representatives of the Deanery Synod and members of the Clergy. The council usually meets nine times a year, usually on Monday Nights. It is really important to us as a church that this group of people makes up the variety and breadth of our whole community so that the decisions we make can be as representative as possible. 

There are requirements and legal responsibilities to being a member of the PCC but these are shared across the group and we do not what anyone to be deterred from nomination because there are things in the form that they do not understand or feel uncomfortable about. We are happy to discuss with you any of these things in confidence should you have any concerns. You can e-mail office@st-gabriels.org for more information or to arrange a chat with the vicar.

Each year, two people are appointed as warden. If you would like to stand as a warden, please first read through the role description and then we strongly encourage a conversation with the vicar before completing a nomination form.
