St Mary Islington PCC

Here at St Mary's we have a PCC (Parochial Church Council) of 17 people. The PCC is the executive committee of a Church of England church and consists of clergy and churchwardens of the parish, together with representatives of the congregation. Every PCC is also a charity and so members are also charity trustees.

Together they are responsible for the overall wellbeing, practical as well as spiritual, of St Mary's Church, the church members, and the church buildings. The PCC also has a duty to promote the mission of the church within the wider community. Our PCC meets seven times a year.

Here is a current list of our PCC members:

Ronnie Coulson
Edward Adegbola
Rebecca Shilling
Patty Kostkova
Sam Hansford

David Vanden Bon
