Pastoral Council
The Pastoral Council is a body of representatives of all the coordinators/leaders of the various groups in the Parish that meets twice a year, in June and December.
The chair is Tony Smart.
The Pastoral Council enables the coordinators/ leaders to update all participants of the status of the activities that they coordinate/lead, whilst also providing the forum and opportunity for the participants to meet each other, thereby creating a strong sense of community and support for all the pastoral work that is vital for the Church and the Church Community.
At these meetings, the Pastor and the Pastoral Council Chair provide information on important liturgical matters and seek support for future initiatives being planned.
Here are the various groups that are represented at the Pastoral Council:

Trust Committee
The Trust Committee is a group of parishioners that is fully independent from the rest of the Parish Team. They exist to provide an outlet for any fellow parishioner who has a concern regarding the Parish Board, the Pastoral Council, or a Parish Group, but feels reluctant to address the concern directly. Each member of the Trust Committee is trained and prepared to listen to concerns impartially, and with full confidentiality. Sometimes speaking with someone you can trust can help to clarify your thoughts and gain a new perspective. Together you might even find a way towards a solution. For a confidential appointment, please contact one of the members in church or via trustcommittee@parish.nl.
