Those positions will be filled and announced in late February, 2001. Vestry members are nominated during a October to December call period, followed by election at the annual congregational meeting in late January. During the meetings, the pastors report on their activities and important issues, and reports are heard on the work of the nine ministry teams. In addition, personnel and financial matters are always considered. In addition to regular monthly meetings, Vestry members are considered members, along with the ministry team leaders and Church Staff members, to be part of the Christ Church Leadership Council, which meets 2-4 times per year to consider and plan for the future of Christ Church.
Any member can request that Vestry consider issues of importance.
However, if the issue is related to a certain ministry, that ministry is required to consider it first. While the Vestry does interact with each ministry team regularly through liaison roles, each ministry team operates in its own manner within certain guidelines. If you have concerns or questions that you wish to convey to the Vestry, please contact the Church office or the Senior Warden.
