Vestry
The Vestry serves as the legislative authority for the parish and shall transact all of the temporal business of the parish. The primary responsibilities of a Vestry are:
- Care of parish finances.
- Care and maintenance of parish facilities.
- Interview and call a Rector
- Work with Parish Committee
- Assist the Rector in the nurture and extension of Christ's Church.
The legal standing of the Vestry is drawn from three sources:
- The Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church
- The Charter and Canons of the Diocese of Alabama
- The Bylaws of the Church of the Nativity
Nativity's Vestry consists of eighteen members of the parish. Six are selected every year. The Vestry meets once a month, and the meetings are open to members of the parish.
The Vestry nomination process is underway and will be completed by November. If you would like to be considered for the 2025 slate of Vestry nominees, please read and complete and submit the application HERE.
