Leadership

The vestry consists of six elected lay persons who oversee the operations of the church alongside the rector who also serves its chairman. This is a group of lay people elected by the congregation to make decisions, protect the vision, and oversee the temporal matters of church life. The requirements for vestry members are to be active in the church community, give regularly to fund the work of the church, and be a confirmed member in good standing. The vestry may ask others to help with the work of the church, including committees and lay officers.
