Church Council
-
The Church Council meets formally three or four times a year. It provides leadership across the whole range of local church life and is responsible for ensuring that EMC’s affairs are managed, decisions taken and resources used in a way which integrates into one community and purpose the work of the ministers, officers and members.
-
EMC forms part of the Sutton Circuit of the Methodist Church, which consists of eleven local churches.
-
The Church Council appoints a number of representatives to the Circuit Meeting, which is responsible, in particular, for ensuring that there are adequate ministerial resources in all churches in the Circuit.
