Meet the Vestry

Parishes in The Episcopal Church are governed by a vestry: the legal representative of the parish regarding its property and finances. The congregation elects Vestry members to serve a term of 3 years. Along with the Rector, the vestry works to define and further the congregation's mission, oversee the organization and planning of our ministries, and manage the parish's resources. Christ Church’s vestry is comprised of 10 members and officers.
