Leadership

Based on our strong belief in baptismal ministry, Immanuel has a unique form of parish leadership. We have two bodies who take leadership roles in different aspects of parish life: Vestry and Ministry Development Group . We also have individual parish members who are responsible for particular areas of parish life.

The Vestry

Our Vestry is an elected group of parishioners, charged with oversight of our buildings, finances and other administrative matters. The Vestry approves contracts, hires parish employees, and does strategic planning. Vestry members can serve a total of six years. Then they must take one year off before returning to this role. The Vestry usually meets once per month.

Gloria Mansfield, Junior Warden
Barbara Plumley, Clerk
LeAnn Winter, Treasurer (ex-officio)
Jeanne Gage, Recording Secretary (ex-officio)

The Vestry supports us all by making sure the buildings are in good repair, the bills are paid, the snow removed in winter and the church and its congregation can exist into the indefinite future.

Ministry Development Group

Our Ministry Development Group is made up of parishioners who have been commissioned or ordained bythe Bishop to serve the parish or are on the Worship Committee. They work together to develop the ministry of the congregation in worship, pastoral care and education. They are charged with supporting the ministry of all members of the parish, leading and supporting each person tofully embrace their role as members of Christ's body.
