PCC Tonight
How to make PCCs fun, faith-filled and fruitful.
PCCs (Parochial Church Councils) are crucial bodies in the leadership of Anglican churches. They can make a significant impact for good on church life. Yet not all PCCs function as well as they might, and many people who serve on PCCs find the experience a tedious one.
PCC Tonight helps clergy lead PCCs effectively so that churches are better able to fulfil the mission and ministry of God in their communities. There is specific material for clergy as well as sessions and resources for the PCC as a whole.
