The day to day running of our many beautiful churches and parishes requires good administration and support from an army of volunteers and paid officers. The resources in this section are for Clergy, Churchwardens, PCC Secretaries, Treasurers, and other parish officers who support the PCC (Parochial Church Council) to manage the daily operations and annual reporting requirements, and compliance obligations of leading a parish or church in the Church of England.
There’s guidance on church finances, safeguarding, or governance best practices, as well as details on how to improve your energy efficiency or where to buy parish resources.
The resources are laid out to help you remain compliant while focusing on worship, fellowship, engaging with and serving your communities. If you cannot find the support or advice in this section, you can contact the diocesan support team for advice and information.
