The Vestry is comprised of parishioners with a variety of skills, experiences and interests who are elected at the church's Annual Meeting. One is elected as the Warden who chair and coordinate the collaborative work of the Vestry. The Treasurer and Clerk are appointed members of the vestry.

Episcopalians
Our church is an "Episcopal Church" and we are called "Episcopalians".
The word "Episcopal" comes from the New Testament Greek, meaning "overseer," often translated as "bishop."
Our bishops, by ordination, trace their roots to the Apostles, the original "historic bishops" or overseers of the Church.
