Chair – The Rev. J. M. (Sonny) Browne, III

The vestry is the elected parish council. The vestry members are elected to a three year term, and the terms are staggered to ensure continuity from year to year. The vestry at Trinity consists of nine communicants in good standing – faithful in worship at the Eucharist as well as private devotions and faithful in giving of time, talent, and treasure. These communicants are financially and legally responsible for the parish church. The vestry meets once per month and holds one or more workshops each year.
