Vestry
Vestry Leadership - 2012
The Grace Church Vestry, the governing body of the parish, shares the leadership of the church with the Rector, and consists of 12 members, who are nominated and elected by the congregation for three-year terms. They meet to oversee the temporal affairs of the church, as well as to support the Rector and staff in promoting the spiritual welfare of the church. In addition, the vestry, in conjunction with the Finance Committee and Trustees, is accountable for the fiscal responsibility of Grace Church.
Three vestry members are elected at each annual meetingin January, therefore we have three "new" members each year, three who have served one year already, and three who have served two years. Once in place, the vestry annually selects a Senior Warden and a Junior Warden to serve as vestry leaders for a one year term or until the following years vestry nominations and election.
Although vestry meetings are closed meetings and not open to the general congregation everyone is invited to the annual meeting held each January .
