The Vestry of St John the Divine

At St. John the Divine, the Vestry serves as the practical leadership team of our parish, much like a board of directors. These dedicated members of our congregation help guide the mission and ministry of the church, working closely with our priest and staff to support the life and well-being of our community.

The Senior Warden, often referred to as the “priest’s warden,” and the Junior Warden, known as the “people’s warden,” serve roles similar to those of a president and vice president. They provide essential leadership, ensuring that both the spiritual and operational needs of the church are met with wisdom and compassion.

Vestry members are active, pledging members of the parish who have been nominated and elected by the congregation during our Annual Parish Meeting. They bring a range of gifts and perspectives as they thoughtfully oversee the resources, ministries, and vision of St. John’s.

If you feel inspired to help lead and serve, or if you would like to learn more, we encourage you to speak with any current vestry member. They will be happy to explain what the role entails and how the nomination process works.
