An Episcopal Church Vestry serves many of the same functions as the boards of directors or trustees in non-profit organizations.

Our Vestry consists of the Rector and 12 parish members elected by parish members to three-year, staggered terms at an annual meeting in January or February. Appointed annually by the Rector or Priest-in-Charge, the Senior Warden serves as the Vestry chairperson in the Rector's absence. The Junior Warden, elected annually by the Vestry, oversees of Building and Grounds.

The Rector (or, in his/her absence, the Wardens) presides at Vestry meetings, in which parish business discussed and acted on. 

The Vestry's primary responsibilities are:

• Leads in the financial support of the parish, including adopting an annual budget
  
• Evaluates parish direction annually
• Supports the rector
• Maintains liability and other forms of insurance
• Establishes short-term goals and a long-range vision for the parish
• Maintains a digest of parish policies, records and vestry decisions
