What is a Vestry?
The vestry is the legal representative of the church with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. The number of vestry members and the term of office varies among churches, but ours is currently comprised of eight members that serve two year terms (over the next two years, we will be transitioning to a nine-person vestry with each member serving a three year term. Vestry members are elected during our annual all-parish meeting (often in early November). The presiding officer of the vestry is the rector. The basic responsibilities of the vestry are to help define and articulate the mission of the congregation; to support the church's mission by word and deed, to select the rector, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage resources and finances.

Officers:
There are two wardens. The senior warden leads the parish between rectors and both wardens serve as a support for the rector. Wardens must be sitting members of the vestry. A treasurer and a secretary are also chosen. These officers may or may not be vestry members. 

Vestry elections occur annually in November. There is an open call for vestry nominations beginning in September.
