The Role of the Vestry

The vestry members are the elected, lay leaders of our church. We view church leadership as the joint responsibility of the rector, the vestry, and the staff, and the partnership between all these leaders is quite remarkable. The rector exercises final oversight of the spiritual life of the congregation while the vestry oversees the temporal. We strive for a sharing of responsibility - the vestry is as concerned about spiritual formation and worship and outreach as it is about finances. The clergy and staff are as involved in temporal matters as in spiritual.
