Vestry nomination information form
Thank you for offering yourself for vestry service. The nominating committee will make selections based on the criteria listed below, and with a view to a representing the diversity of our parish—age, areas of church involvement, skills, background, gender—on the full vestry. If you are not selected for the slate this year, this is not because the committee does not recognize that you have gifts to offer!
Those nominated for vestry service:
- should be qualified according to the Canons (a confirmed member who is known to the treasurer);
- should have demonstrated a level of commitment to St. Stephen’s which is appropriate to vestry service, including giving a tithe (10 percent of income) or working meaningfully toward the tithe; attending worship weekly; and engaging in the ministries of St. Stephen’s;
- should have the ability to be a constructive and unifying influence even when working with those of different viewpoints; and
- should not be the spouse, sibling, parent or child of a member of the nominating committee, nor have served on St. Stephen’s vestry for at least three years.
When you fill out this form, you will provide the nominating committee with information they'll use to select a slate. Should you be nominated by the committee, we will use the information you provide in the form to introduce you to the parish through various communications such as the Spirit and the eSpirit.
Thank you!
