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 St. Martin's Bylaws, there are seven (5-7) Vestry members. 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 Rector and 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, Junior Warden, the Clerk and Treasurer are elected from the Vestry (Clerk and Treasurer positions are not required to be a Vestry members).
