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.
