VESTRY TEAM/LEADERSHIP

The Vestry
Originally the word referred to the room where the priest/minister would put on his robes, at which time local laity would meet with him to discuss the affairs of the parish/church. Over time the name of the room came to signify the group of men and women who goverened the parish because it was there where they met.

The Role of the Vestry
The vestry of an Episcopal church has three primary responsibilities. The first two are managerial; to take care of the church's finances and to be responsible for the care of the building/s. The third is to make appointments such as  the choice of rector, appointment of Treasurer and Secretary.
But the vestry also has a vital leadership role in that it supports the Rector and staff in the spiritual welfare of the church.
