Organisation

Not exactly the boring part, but this gives an idea of how the chapel life is organised: the committees, and who is the main point of contact for particular issues:

Minister: At present we have Rev'd Christine Legge as minister with care of four congregations:

Cross Heath; Madeley; Silverdale and ourselves at Higherland.

Rev'd John Palmer has the responsibility as circuit Superintendent Minister.

Contact with Ministers is via the circuit website www.northstaffordshiremethodists.org.uk

Church Council : Main ‘governing body’ of the local church

Minuting Secretary – Geraldine Craig

Treasurer - Mike Stevenson [also day-to-day running / admin sec]

Senior Steward - Anthony Leech

Pastoral Committee : A committee made up of pastoral leaders who concern themselves with the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of the members and adherents of the church.

Secretary – Sue Hartland

Property and Finance Committee : Looks after the finances and oversees the general care and maintenance of the church site and building.

Then there are areas of responsiblity, not all listed here:
