 Vestry - Our Lay Leaders

In the Episcopal Church, the vestry is the governing body of a parish and is responsible, along with the rector, for prayer, planning, and policies within the parish. The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property.  During times of transition, the vestry leads the process of calling and supporting a new rector.

The vestry at St. John's consists of seven members elected to three-year, overlapping terms. Vestry members are elected by church members at the annual parish meeting, which typically is held at the end of January each year. The presiding officer of the vestry is the rector. There are two wardens. The senior warden leads the parish between rectors and is a support person for the rector. The junior warden has responsibility for church property and buildings.

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.
