The Vestry
The Vestry consists of eight elected representatives from the Parish along with the Rector, the Senior Warden, the Clerk of the Vestry, and the Treasurer. Each Vestry member is elected for a three year term and serves to work with the Rector and the Staff for the success of the ministry. The Vestry is elected at the Annual Congregational Meeting. The Vestry is the final authority for the business of St. John’s, as it manages all the temporal affairs, property and other business of the Church, including finances. Further, the Vestry provides counsel, support and guidance for the ministries and membership of the Church.
