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.
