The vestry acts as the governing board for the church. Members are elected at the annual meeting for a three year term. They meet the third Wednesday of every month in the Fellowship Hall. The term "Vestry" is peculiar to the Anglican church and refers to the room where the clergy would change into their vestments and meet with the church leaders.
The term "warden" means "steward" or "guardian," and wardens are the chief stewards and servants of their congregations. The wardens act as liaisons between the rector and the congregation and meet regularly with the rector to review the life and work of the congregation, plan ahead, anticipate and resolve problems. They are also senior officers of the vestry and as such provide leadership to the vestry to identify the vision, mission and goals of the congregation.
