Those elected to serve on the PCC must be men and women who are committed to Christ and the work of the Lord at SJSM and can give the necessary time and energy to this. Each member of the PCC should be well integrated into the body-life of the Church and have responsibilities in a specific ministry area.

While the People’s Warden is elected, the Vicar’s Warden is appointed by the Vicar. The Wardens represent the Church on official occasions. They are the Senior Lay Leaders of SJSM. Together with the Hon. Treasurer and Hon. Secretary and members of the Vicar’s Office, they are the Office-Bearers of the PCC.
