Parish Council

The Parish Council (aka Vestry) is the church's governing board that is “responsible for the temporalities of the congregation and, except where otherwise provided by canon, supports the clergy in the spiritual leadership of the congregations.” You can learn more about the qualifications, responsibilities, and nomination process of the Parish Council in Section 6 of our Bylaws.

Parish Council members are Lizzy Byer, Ken Geis (Warden), Marianne Kenfield, Kevin Kreisel (Treasurer), Dana Nyquist (Secretary), and Rick Stawarz (Rector, non-voting member). The Council usually meets on the third Wednesday of the month.

Chancellor

The parish chancellor is a lawyer who advises the Rector and Parish Council, on governance, ecclesiastical matters, and legal matters. The chancellor does not formally represent the church in civil legal matters, except by explicit separate agreement. Upon request, the chancellor may also advise the Rector and Parish Council on other areas including leadership, policies, personnel, or related church functions.
