This year our Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) will be held on 17th May 2026, 11.00am, in St John’s Church
The Parish Church Council (PCC) is the governing body of St John the Baptist Burscough, overseeing our resources, assets, buildings and staff team. It is responsible for ensuring compliance with policies such as health and safety, safeguarding, proper recruitment and staff management etc. The council collaborates with the Vicar in discerning and promoting the mission and ministry of the church.
The PCC is required to hold an APCM (Annual Parochial Church Meeting) at which reports are shared, accounts approved, new members and officers are elected and questions may be asked about any area of the church’s ministry. It is also an opportunity for us to come together to give thanks to God for all that happened in the life of the church over the last 12 months, and to look forward to what is to come.
Anyone may attend the annual meeting and raise questions; however only those on the Electoral Roll may vote in any formal resolutions that might be made. You will find a list of those who are on our church ‘Electoral Roll’ below. This is different from being on our database (ChurchSuite), it’s the formal way of belonging to St John’s as part of the wider Anglican Church and enables you to vote at the APCM.
Below you will find links to the various documents you might need, including our annual accounts.
