What sort of person is needed for the job?

Someone who:

  • Is committed to prayer and regular worship
  • Is interested in and involved in the life of the church and village / community
  • Is willing to learn and to share ideas, experience and gifts
  • Cares about other people
  • Is able to take decisions, having weighed up all sides of a debate / discussion

A PCC/DCC* needs thinkers, doers, sceptics, questioners, listeners, optimists – Are you one of these?

You do NOT need to be:

  • A Saint
  • A theologian
  • Or an expert (but a few of these would be marvellous)

* Some or all of this information may apply to DCC’s, according to local usage Parish Development Advisers are available to work with PCC’s to help them to  work at understanding their responsibilities and/or to work at any of the processes outlined here.
