Vestry

The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property.

Its basic responsibilities 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.

The number of vestry members and the term of office varies from parish to parish. Vestry members are usually elected at the annual parish meeting. The rector is the presiding officer of the vestry. There are usually two wardens. The senior warden leads the parish between rectors and is a support person for the rector. The junior warden often has responsibility for church property and buildings. A treasurer and a secretary or clerk may be chosen, and may or may not be vestry members.
