Our nine-member lay vestry leads the congregation in providing for the parish’s financial well-being, physical structures, and ongoing programs. Vestry members are elected for three-year terms, with three members rotating off each fall as three new members are elected in a parish meeting. Three delegates to the annual February Diocesan convention are elected at the same parish meeting. The Rector presides at monthly vestry meetings and leads an annual weekend planning retreat with the new vestry each January. Senior and Junior Wardens are elected by the vestry from its own membership and meet with the Rector and church staff weekly to carry out ongoing administrative functions. Staff currently consists of the Rector, a parish administrator, and a part-time organist/choirmaster. Our Deacon and Priest Associate serve without pay. The legal standing of a Parish Vestry is drawn from three sources: Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church, the Charter and Canons of the Diocese of Alabama, and parish customs and published vestry policies. The current vestry is listed below.
