The Vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. The Vestry also creates and oversees the budget for the parish. At St. David's, our Vestry is made up of nine lay members, led by the Rector, or if there is none the Sr. Warden. Each lay member is elected at the Annual Meeting and serves up to a three year term.
The Vestry meets on the third Wednesday of each month. The Vestry discusses the business of the church including ministries, financials and budget, property, etc., as well as prays together. There is a parishioner comment period at the beginning of each monthly meeting which we invite you to attend and share your suggestions and feedback. It is our honor to serve our St. David’s community. Please join us at our next meeting.

With both practical and spiritual aspects, serving on Vestry is an enriching way to be involved in the church, and we need many varied skill sets.
