Running a church is not dissimilar to running many other organisations. Notwithstanding the Pastoral work undertaken, there are all the practical aspects associated with running a church; there are plans to be made, meetings where decisions are taken, committees to make those decisions, budgets to manage, buildings to maintain, newsletters and magazines to print, etc etc etc.
Much of the work undertaken at St Augustine's is carried out by volunteers, who work under the guidance of the Vicar and the PCC. If things are a bit of a mystery click through the links on the left hand side of the page to find out more about how the church is run.
