The vestry members are the trustees of all secular concerns within the church. They are authorized to collect, invest, and disburse funds and enter into contracts on behalf of the parish. St. Thomas’ uses a 3-year rotation for its 9 member vestry. Those nominated must be confirmed, adult (16 years +) members in good standing. Elections take place during the parish’s annual meeting which is held in early December. The Senior Warden and Junior Warden are elected by the vestry members upon nomination by the rector. The Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer and Clerk of the vestry are then nominated and elected by the vestry members.
