Lay Leadership
Grace Church's Vestry and Program Ministry Council work strategically together to develop and manage financial and human resources, oversee the building and property, and coordinate programming and ministries.
They also address leadership at Grace, and the process we use to identify, recruit, sustain, and grow new leaders among our membership. To help bring focus to this area, the Vestry formed a Leadership Development Committee to promote leadership at Grace, recommend improvements within the volunteer leadership experience, and help to establish clear pathways for interested members to get more involved.
The most recent Vestry meeting minutes are available here.
