Vestry

​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.

Meet the Candidates for the 2025 Vestry Election!

Candidates with the most votes will be elected to the three open full 3-year terms. The remaining candidate will be elected to the partial 1-year term. Each candidate meets Vestry member qualifications. Two of the candidates are to be confirmed and/or received into the Episcopal Church upon the next visit by the Bishop in June 2025. 


All adult communicants in good standing, registered at St David's, shall be entitled to vote at the election of Vestry members. The voting shall be by ballot in person, and, unless otherwise provided by the meeting, a majority of the votes cast shall be necessary for each choice. There shall be no voting by proxy. As the meeting is broadcast live for viewing, but not active two-way participation, virtual observers are not eligible to vote and will not be counted toward the quorum. Members sixteen years of age and over are to be considered adult members.


Biographies from the candidates are available below.  Please take some time to learn about each of them.
