Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM)
At this meeting, five representatives to the Deanery Synod are elected for three years. The number of representatives depends on the number on the Electoral Roll. They become ex-officio members of the PCC. A further election for eleven ordinary members of the PCC is then held. Ordinary PCC members must be elected annually. From their number they elect the secretary and the treasurer. The ordinary members serve for up to three years, so some new members are elected each year along with those re-elected for a further year. An auditor of the PCC's accounts has to be appointed. The auditor must not be member of the PCC. So there is an important legal aspect to the APCM. But there is also a key spiritual aspect to the APCM. We celebrate what God has done through us during the previous year. The APCM is always interesting and offers an opportunity for anyone on the electoral roll to voice opinions on the way the church has been or is being managed.
