Vestries & Parish Committees

Become an effective, energetic leadership team that lives out your parish’s mission and energizes its congregation

A vestry is a lot more than a board of directors. The moment you’re elected, you’ve accepted the call to lead your congregation to a closer relationship with God. But how to embrace that leadership role is a challenging one. You need to identify your parish’s goals and articulate its mission, all while energizing your congregation. Then there’s learning how your team’s responsibilities complement your rector’s role. ECF can provide spiritually grounded and practical information, resources, and training to inspire, affirm, and inform Episcopal leaders in their work.

• Building Leadership: Vital congregations live out their mission when their leaders empower everyone
  
  
• Growing Financial Capacity: Conserve and grow the gifts that have been entrusted to your parish
  
  
• Forging Partnerships: When communities of faith come together, their service to the Church and to the world has more impact
