​The Vestry  
​Servant Leadership at Christ Episcopal Church
The Vestry is an elected group of parishioners who serve as the legal representatives and agents of the church, with responsibilities outlined in the canons of the Episcopal Church. These responsibilities include:

• Overseeing church finances
• Caring for property and buildings
• Supporting clergy and staff
• Stewarding the gifts and resources of the congregation

While it functions much like the board of a nonprofit, the Vestry is more than a governance body. It also works collaboratively with the rector and congregation to discern and carry out God’s dream for our church.
“The vestry balances its role in discerning God’s mission and vision with sound stewardship of its property and resources.”
— Vestry Resource Guide, Episcopal Church Foundation

​When Does the Vestry Meet?
The Vestry meets on the last Sunday of each month at 12:00 p.m.
Meetings are open to all—you are welcome to attend and listen in.
