St. Martin de Porres' VESTRY


The Vestry of St. Martin de Porres Episcopal Church (St. Martin) is the governing body of the church. At the Annual Meeting held each January, the congregation elects new members of the St. Martin's Vestry.  According to our Vestry By-Laws, there are five to seven (5-7) Vestry members elected. Should a member resign before completing their term, the Vestry may appoint a new member to the unexpired term.

The work of St. Martin's is accomplished through the vital ministries that are led by the Vestry members. These individuals oversee the tasks, activities and events of our ministries. Paid staff that report directly to the Rector also receive support from the Vestry members.

The Senior Warden and Junior Warden positions are elected from the Vestry.  The Clerk and Treasurer positions may be elected from the Vestry but are not required to be Vestry members.   Please note below are links for the Job of the Vestry, Vestry By-Laws and Vestry Retreat.
