The Bishop’s Committee

The bishop’s committee is the leadership body in each Episcopal mission congregation. The bishop is the head of the committee, though regular moderating of meetings is delegated to the vicar. Other members of the committee lay members who are elected each year by the congregation to three year terms. The bishop’s committee holds the mission and vision of the congregation, and implements those in the ongoing life of the church through worship, parish life and mission beyond the walls of the church. At St. A the bishop’s committee is comprised of people from both language groups. Translation is provided as necessary throughout the meeting. Relationships between the priest, the bishop’s committee, and the congregation is supported by the wardens, of which there is one for the English service and one for the Spanish service.
