OUR VESTRY
The Vestry is composed of lay members elected at our Annual Meeting and serves like a board of directors, but with a spiritual and faithful purpose at its heart. “How can Grace best serve God, one another, and our neighbors?” is the question behind their visioning, decision making, and planning. Each Vestry member serves in at least one ministry area of our congregation.
​
While Vestry members focus on serving now, in this time and in this place, they are also mindful that we are beneficiaries of the gifts given by previous generations of Grace and responsible to generations of Grace yet to come. Stewardship, meaning “the good care of all that God has given us” as Grace Church, is an essential dimension of of their work.
