Vestry

Samuel Bray - Churchwarden
Robert Ramsey - Churchwarden
Hannah VanSyckel - Vestry Member
Abigail Bray - Vestry Member
Brendan Bridgford - Vestry Member
The vestry is the elected governing board of the church. It is made up of two churchwardens and three vestry members, and it works in a close partnership with the rector. In terms of ultimate division of labor, the rector exercises final oversight of the spiritual life of the congregation while the vestry oversees the temporal affairs, including the stewardship of finances, property, and personnel. The vestry and rector work together to deepen the parish’s spiritual health and growth and advance its mission to South Bend.
