Church Minutes are essential documents used to record official meetings of church governing bodies in England and Wales. They serve multiple purposes, including maintaining legal compliance, documenting decision-making processes, and providing historical records of church administration. These minutes must be maintained in accordance with the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 and related legislation. Church Minutes typically include attendance records, financial decisions, property matters, pastoral concerns, and other significant church business. They are particularly important for churches registered as charities, as they provide evidence of proper governance and decision-making processes.
