Think of the Vestry as a spiritual Board of Directors. Elected by parish members, they are responsible for the fiduciary (budgets and buildings), strategic (discerning and implementing God’s vision for our community), and generative (providing wisdom on complex issues) aspects of our common life. In the Episcopal Church, clergy and lay leaders equally share in governance under the direction of our Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Daniel G. P. Gutiérrez.
