Our Vestry

The Vestry is similar to the Board of Directors for a corporation. They are responsible for setting the tone and policies of our church. At each Annual Meeting, four new members of the vestry are elected by the congregation to serve three-year terms.

The Senior Warden is chosen by the Rector to serve as an adviser and is charged with church oversight in the absence of a Rector. The Senior Warden serves a one-year term.

The Junior Warden is elected by the Vestry and is generally in charge of the physical property of the church. This is also a one-year term.

Other officers can be Vestry members or members-at-large elected by the Vestry.

The remaining vestry members serve in leadership roles on all committees of the church. These assignments change each year with the addition of newly-elected vestry members.

The Vestry meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m.
