Vestries
Vestries are established at all three churches and are an integral part of their management. Any Vestry is responsible for the running of church affairs. Vestry members are elected from the church membership for a five-year term and are charity trustees. Ideally, members are drawn from a mix of ages and backgrounds and work harmoniously to carry out their responsibilities to the best of their abilities. Vestry assists the Priest-in-Charge and is responsible not only for the spiritual wellbeing of the members of the congregation but also for the fabric and property of the Church and Rectory.
