Electoral Roll

Church law states that a revision of the Electoral Roll must be completed before the APCM. This year, the revision period was between 26th April and 10th May 2026.   The Electoral Roll Officer's Report to the APCM can be found here.

 Members of the Electoral Roll can vote at the APCM, so by being a member you help shape the work and ministry of the church. If you would like to actively support church life and add your name to the roll, please complete an enrolment form. 

Electoral Roll Enrolment Form

Forms are also available from the Church Office or by emailing Christina on admin@aylesford-church.org.uk

Please return the enrolment form to Anita Keays via the Church Office, The Brassey Centre, Station Road, Aylesford, ME20 7QR.
 

Become a PCC member? 

If you would like to be even more involved in church life, playing a crucial role in the day to day management of the church, please think about becoming a PCC (Parochial Church Council) member. The size of our (ecclesiastical) parish means that Aylesford PCC can contain 9 members elected from churchgoers. The 9 are appointed on a 3 year cycle, so every year there are at least 2 places to fill. With meetings held once every other month (business meeting alternating with less formal 'exploratory' meetings), belonging to the PCC is not onerous, but there is a responsibility to be an active member, voicing ideas and opinions and being prepared to put effort and energy into the completion of some projects undertaken with the agreement of the PCC.  It is a responsibility, but one that allows you to have direct impact on how we show the love of God in the diverse and wonderful community we serve.

Elected members are elected at the APCM. If there are no more nominations than places, election is automatic. If there are more nominations than places, then a vote will be held. Please think and pray about this opportunity to serve God and your community, and don't hesitate to ask questions of Tania and Des (Co- Chairpersons) or any other member of the PCC. 

If you would like to give this a go, you will need a seconder. Here is the Nomination Form.

Although nominations can be accepted at the meeting, it would be much appreciated if they could be submitted to the Church Office (address above) no later than Friday 15th May (2pm). This will help us with the management of any election.

After the APCM has taken place, nominations can be received to join the PCC, and members can be co-opted.
