Vestry Leadership

The Episcopal Church is governed in a democratic way both nationally and locally. The Vestry is a group of lay people elected for a three year term by the parish to work with the rector to oversee the temporal health of the congregation. The Vestry works with the clergy to lead the congregation in the ministry of the Church. New members of the Vestry are elected at the annual meeting of the parish, held in January of each year.

The All Saints' Vestry is composed of 9 -12 committed lay people who give generously of their time and talent. The Vestry includes people with a variety of skills and backgrounds, ages, and length of time as parishioners. Some are lifelong Episcopalians. Some are fairly new to the Episcopal Church.

The Vestry elects the Senior Warden (Chief Executive Officer of the Vestry) and the Junior Warden (assists the Senior Warden and usually chairs the Property Committee) at its first meeting. The Vestry meets on the third Tuesday of each month in the Library. Everyone is welcome to attend the Vestry meetings either in-person or by Zoom.
