Vestry
In the Episcopal Church, the Vestry serves as the governing body of the parish, working alongside the rector to provide spiritual and practical leadership. The Vestry is responsible for parish governance, including finances, property, and long-range planning. It also plays a key role in selecting the rector, approving clergy assistants, and reporting to the bishop on the overall health of the parish. The congregation elects Vestry members and typically serve three-year terms, offering their gifts of time, wisdom, and care in service to the community.
