Structure
As a new church under the care of our bishop, Christ our Savior is pastor-led, team-implemented, and diocese supported.
An Anglican bishop is a member of the clergy who has been commissioned to oversee the work of a group of churches and the pastors (priests and deacons) who serve them. That group of churches is called a “diocese.” In a certain sense, a bishop is a pastor to pastors. Bishops share a special responsibility to maintain and further the unity of the Church, to uphold its discipline, and to guard its faith.
The team at Christ our Savior is made up of people who are committed to the pastoral, operational, and overall care of our church.
As we become a parish, Christ our Savior will have a vestry. The purpose of the vestry is to support the church's mission and culture, support the lead pastor, model sacrificial leadership, and uphold the church's financial integrity. Vestry members serve three-year terms in a staggered form. Officers of the vestry include a senior warden, junior warden, chancellor, treasurer, and secretary.
