Vestry Committees

There are currently seven standing committees of the vestry:

The Finance & Property committee is chaired by the parish treasurer, who has the responsibility for maintaining all parish funds, receiving and disbursing monies in accordance with approved budget, maintaining accounts. Membership on the Finance committee is open to vestry and non-vestry members.

The Governance committee is a vestry committee appointed to examine and suggest ways to improve the work of the vestry and vestry committees, to develop leadership in the parish and to support the work of non-vestry parish committees.

The New Leadership committee is charged with helping to identify the next generation of leaders within our parish.

The Nominating committee is charged by the parish bylaws with proposing candidates to stand for election to the vestry and as delegates to the diocese. Committee members assess the vestry seats to be filled, the skills and talents required, and then recruit the required number of candidates.

The Rector Evaluation Format committee has been tasked with formalizing the outline for vestry feedback to the rector.

The Stewardship committee leads the parish’s annual stewardship campaign, which raises the funds needed to maintain the church property, pay the salaries of clergy and staff and support the ministry of the church.

The Transition committee has been assisting the vestry with smoothing the transition to a new rector.
