The Vestry

Duties of the Vestry

The Vestry at Emmanuel Church serves as the church’s fiscal administration, manages real estate and property and promotes leadership. The Vestry elections are held every year at the Annual Meeting in January. The Senior Warden and Junior Warden serve three year terms. The Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer and Clerk are elected annually.  These positions form the Executive Committee that meet weekly with the Rector to discuss church matters.  The Vestry at Large are six parishioners who serve terms of three years on alternating years. The Vestry meets monthly to overview the financial position, confirm the work of the many church ministries and support the spiritual direction of the parish. For more information about the work of the Vestry, please contact the Rector.
