THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF CHRIST CHURCH, KENSINGTON 

The PCC?s activities are primarily focused on the advancement of religion, with public benefit. All regular public worship is provided free of charge and open to all. Donations to other charities and our own projects provide public benefits in the relief of poverty and need, whether within or outside the ecclesiastical parish, often for minority groups with particular needs such as the elderly.
