What a Vestry Does 

The Vestry’s primary roles are to protect the stated vision of the parish, to insure the values of the congregation, to protect the financial integrity of the church, to support the Rector, and to model mature Christian service as evidenced in things like tithing and stabiility.
The mission for Church of the Ascension is to share the transforming love and healing power of Jesus Christ. The values at Ascension are rooted in the Biblical themes of sabbath (spiritual rest), jubilee (spiritual freedom), anointing (spiritual effectiveness), and covenant (spiritual relationships).
