Leadership

Lay and ordained leaders work together for the parish. Here are our lay leaders:

Vestry

The Vestry is elected by the congregation to provide pastoral, spiritual, and financial leadership of the church in partnership with the rector. Each member has an area of leadership. Members serve 3-year terms and meet monthly to carry out their work.

  • Class of 2025 - Rob Atkinson (Formation), Melanie McComb (Communications), Michelle Pollock (Senior Warden)

  • Class of 2026 - Lynne Lewis (Properties), Kevin Smith (Wider Community) , Larry Torgersen (Parish Life)

  • Class of 2027 - Denis Deckert, Kathleen Gillerlain, Norris Padgett

Committees

Much of the work of the church is carried about by committees of the parish. Committee heads are appointed by the Rector (unless a charter dictates otherwise) and are responsible for recruiting and selecting committee members.
