our vestry (governing body)
Our 2024 Vestry is Diane Baehr, Tom Corbin, Mike Delmore (Treasurer), Ellen Dunbar (Jr. Warden), Hannah Gordon, Joan Hart (Sr. Warden), Leann Nitschke, Fr. Joel Prather (Rector/Pastor), and Bob Thompson-Gee (Clerk).
Episcopal Parishes are governed by a board of elected parishioners. The name "Vestry" comes from the name of the room the clergy and choir used to put on their "vest-ments", where the Governing Boards used to meet centuries ago (they don't meet their anymore but the name stuck!).
The Vestry helps guide the Mission of the congregation and serves as our the legal and fiduciary agents.
