The vestry is the board of directors for the parish, and is responsible for the business and general affairs of St Andrew’s, providing leadership for the congregation as a whole. In the last several years, the vestry committed to the Malachi Match challenge; implemented roof repairs in 2004, and developed a three-year plan of building repairs based on historic preservation recommendations which resulted in the Keeping the Faith initiative and the Sacred Vision Sacred Space fund-raising campaign. We also revived the Ways and Means Committee, now known as the Resource Development Committee, to improve parish fund raising efforts, and undertook a study series about leadership in the context of a church. With parish involvement and input we began developing a long-range five-year parish plan.
