Buildings and Projects Team – taking care of our ancient building and churchyard. Looking ahead and planning projects, day to day maintenance.
Ministry Team – reviewing our worship and our learning, our mission and outreach.

The PCC would like to invite members of the church family to join one of the teams to help us live in Christ in our community. ‘Though we are many, we are one body’.
Please pray about this and talk to PCC members as to which Team you would like to be part of.
