Churchwarden Charge 2026

There is a requirement placed on the Archdeacons on the occasion of Admitting Churchwardens into Office – ie at a Visitation Service – to make sure Churchwardens have the information they need to do their voluntary roles. These Visitation Services are carried out every year, and every churchwarden has to attend in order to carry out their role.

As is now our custom, the Archdeacons are providing The Charge as a separate document. The Visitation Services are times of worship and prayer with preaching, as well as the swearing in of Churchwardens. This document is provided for all to add tothe information contained in the Archdeacons’ Visitation News which is available electronically on the Diocesan website along with The Charge http://www.stalbansdiocese.org/parishsupport/managing-your-church/church-officers/churchwardens/

Also available as a Word Document: Form for Nomination of Churchwardens
