Vestry
The Vestry is the elected lay leadership body of an Episcopal parish—essentially the church’s board of directors. It works alongside the rector, priest in charge, vicar, or clergy in charge, to guide the spiritual and practical life of the congregation.
The Vestry is composed of parish members elected by the congregation, typically serving three-year terms. The Vestry elects officers from among its members, including: a Senior Warden, a Junior Warden (often overseeing buildings and grounds), a Treasurer (who oversees the finances of the parish), and a Clerk (who takes minutes at vestry minutes and assists with documents).
The Vestry has several key responsibilities: Spiritual Leadership, Financial Stewardship, Property Management, Strategic Planning, and other responsibilities.
The Vestry typically meets monthly to conduct parish business, pray together, and discuss matters affecting the congregation. While the rector has spiritual authority and leads worship and pastoral care, the Vestry handles temporal (day-to-day practical) affairs. This partnership between clergy and laity reflects the Episcopal Church’s tradition of shared governance and mutual ministry.
