What is the Church Committee?

• We are an elected group of representatives
• We look after the administrational and advise the Vicar on the spiritual aspects of our church
• We acknowledge that this is best done through mutual support
• We have a legal responsibility to maintain and care for the church’s finances, building, electoral roll, and to implement the decisions of the Church in Wales Governing Body and Mission Area conference
• We therefore must communicate effectively between the Parish, Mission Area conference, and Diocesan conference
• We would like to spend more time discussing the mission and growth of the church
• We would do this through prayerful discernment of the long term and day to day vision of what God wishes us to do as a church,and to prayerfully reflect as we move forward

What can you expect from your church committee?

• That we seek God’s presence in all things and ask him to lead us through his Spirit
• We will prayerfully look to move our church forward in faith as we seek to become more Christ-like
• That all matters brought to the church council will be constructively and prayerfully discussed, with the aim to making a positive decision
• All relevant matters, especially those specifically requested from the congregation, will be communicated back to the necessary parties.

What sort of person does the church committee need?

• Someone over the age of 16 and on the Electoral Roll
• Someone who has the spiritual maturity to seek the presence of God in their lives, trusting in his Son and in his reconciling love, acknowledging their own imperfections
• Someone who feels called by God to nominate themselves for church leadership
• Someone willing to enter into prayerful discussion and come to a common mind
