Like the government of the United States, the Episcopal Church has a representative form of church government. This seems appropriate because the birth of the Episcopal Church in America coincided with the birth of the nation, taking place in the same year (1776), in the same city (Philadelphia) and in the same building (Independence Hall)!

The Vestry is the name of the governing body within each Episcopal congregation. Once each year the parish holds a meeting to nominate and elect church members to a three year term on the Vestry to replace members whose term is expiring. As our elected representatives, the Vestry, together with the rector, make decisions on behalf of the parish.
