The Vestry

The Vestry is the legal governing and decision-making group in the church. There are nine vestry members at St. Paul; the congregation elects vestry members during the annual meeting at the beginning of each year. Each year three members are elected for a three-year term, and three members retire from their term.

The Vicar chooses the Senior Warden of the Vestry. He or she is considered the lay leader of the church. The Vestry elects a Junior Warden from its membership. The Junior Warden is responsible for buildings and grounds.

It is the Vestry's responsibility to be the final decision-making body, which hires the rector, approves the budget, makes policy decisions and spends the church money. Each vestry member has a central area of responsibility, and they each act as liaison between the church committees and the Vestry.
