It covers: the mission and ministry of the PCC; Who should stand for the PCC? How to become a member (and what will be expected of you); the officers of the PCC and their responsibilities; the PCC meeting; working with others (the minister, churchwardens, etc); specific responsibilities of the PCC; the drafting, ownership and implementation of policies, issues likely to face PCCs in the future; troubleshooting, and the end of a period in office.
