Church of the Redeemer
Vestry
The Vestry is the lay governing body of The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, elected during our Annual Meeting. Basic responsibilities of the Vestry are to help define and articulate the mission of the congregation, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage finances. Our Vestry members devote a great deal of personal time to overseeing our operations. We are grateful for their dedication and continued support.
