Vestry
The Vestry is the lay governing body of 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.
CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER ANNUAL MEETING

If you would like to put your name forward to be considered as a nominee, or know someone who might be interested, please reach out to the Nominating Committee Chair, Emily von Allmen by October 14th.
