Vestry
The vestry is the governing board of the church. Members typically are elected to serve three year terms. At monthly meetings the vestry reviews and takes action on accounting matters, the physical plant, and spiritual wellbeing of the parish. Working closely with the priest-in-charge, the vestry provides an energized core group who advocate tirelessly for the parish, the community, and beyond.
