THE VESTRY

The Vestry is elected by the congregation from its membership at the annual meeting. The Vestry consist of 6 members who serve staggered three year terms. The Rector is also part of the Vestry and presides at the meetings. The Vestry meets monthly to review and guide the spiritual, ministerial, and fiscal life of the parish. In this way the ordained ministerial and the elected lay share the authority and responsibility of the church’s leadership.
