Parish Leadership

Anglican Churches elect members to serve in various offices every year at their Annual Meeting. The roles to be filled are for Wardens and Parish Council Members from which a Treasurer and Secretary are appointed. Wardens are entrusted with both practical stewardship (property, finances, governance) and pastoral responsibility (supporting clergy and ensuring the wellbeing of the parish community). While Parish Council Members share responsibility with the vicar and wardens for the governance, mission, and wellbeing of the parish. All details relating to Parish Governance can be found in the Parish Governance Act 2013.
