St. Andrew's Harrington Park NJ

Leadership Team

The Leadership team of St. Andrew's consists of the Priest-in-Charge, Wardens, the Treasurer and Vestry members. (In the Episcopal Church, the Wardens and Vestry are lay -- i.e., non-clergy -- members of the parish who are elected to serve in a capacity akin to that of a board of directors.) In addition to handling the business and financial affairs of the parish, the St. Andrew's Leadership Team provides spiritual leadership and vision for St. Andrew's.

Priest-in-Charge: The Rev. Diane Lynn Rhodes, who had been our Interim since July 2007, became our Priest-in-Charge in May 2010. She is a graduate of the University of Chicago and Drew Theological School.

Wardens: Two members of the parish are elected to serve as the Wardens. Each person serves for a two-year period, and may be reelected for a second term. The role of the Wardens is to work closely with and to support the Rector, and to provide overall leadership in the congregation. The Wardens are to be active members of the congregation, and are to provide leadership in identifying and working to advance the vision, mission and goals of the congregation.

Vestry: The Vestry consists of up to ten active members of the congregation and, together with the Rector and Wardens, is responsible for the ongoing operations of the parish, including the maintenance of property and approval of expenditures. Each vestry member is elected for a three-year term, and may be reelected for a second term.

Vestry Meetings: The Rector, Wardens and Vestry meet on the second Monday evening of each month (other than July and August). Parishioners are invited to join us at our Vestry meetings. We welcome your comments, ideas, and suggestions.

Treasurer: The Treasurer is a member of the congregation and is responsible for maintaining accurate records of the financial transactions of the parish. The Treasurer is also responsible for ensuring that cash receipts and disbursements are appropriate and accurately recorded.
