Parochial Church Council
About
The Parochial Church Council is responsible for the day-to-day running of Holy Cross. It meets 10 times a year with an additional Annual Parochial Church Meeting, usually held in April, when the churchwardens and PCC members are elected. Crediton has recently moved to a system whereby every year a third of PCC members are elected to stand for 3 years. This ensures continuity whilst at the same time encouraging new PCC members to come forward. In addition to the full PCC meetings, various PCC sub committees meet to plan and discuss specific aspects of church life. A list of the committees and their activities for the last year can be found in the annual report.
Along with one other church (Ottery St Mary) the fabric of the church is the responsibility of a board of Governors founded in 1547.
