Holy Cross Episcopal Church

Our Vestry

---

The Canons of the church give exclusive authority over the fiscal affairs of the parish to the Vestry. But Vestry members are also spiritual leaders who are committed to building up the body of Christ so that it can be an effective instrument of mission and ministry in the world.

1.   Be a confirmed member of the Episcopal Church enrolled as a member of the parish, 18 years of age or older.
2.   Have been regular in attendance at the services of the church in the years preceding election.
3.   Made and maintained a financial commitment to the parish, known to the treasurer, in the year preceding election

These are qualifications not only for election but for continued service on the Vestry. A Vestry member should lead the way in participation in the worship life and financial support of the parish.

Term of Office:  The term of a Vestry member is for three (3) years, and a Vestry member is not eligible for re-election in the year following the expiration of his/her term. At Holy Cross, the vestry consists of 8 members. The Vestry consists of three teams: People Team, Program Team, and Property Team.
