The Vestry serves the rector, his fellow clergy, other parishioners, and the St. Paul's staff as well as the broad ministry of the laity. All confirmed adult members who are givers of record and willing to make the commitment are eligible to run for the Vestry.

St. Paul's congregation elects six members to the Vestry each year at its annual parish meeting held in the spring. From among their members the Vestry elects officers, including the senior warden, junior warden, treasurer, and register.
