The Vestry is the governing body of Grace Church.
It has legal responsibility for the parish's property and oversees our financial stewardship.
The Vestry also hires the Rector.
Together the Rector and Vestry provide spiritual leadership for Grace Church.
Vestry members serve three-year terms. They elect officers of the parish, which include a senior and junior warden, treasurer and clerk.
Each Vestry member also serves on one of our three Standing Committees: administration, programs (fellowship & education), and outreach.
We go on an overnight retreat each year to discern God's call for our work and ministry in the year to come. Our meetings begin with prayer and devotion, and we have prayer partners who ar members of the parish for whom we pray, support and shepherd.
