About Us

We are pleased to welcome all people to historic Glebe Church. Here, you will find Christians who work and live in the world while seeking to do the will of God as mediated through Jesus Christ. There have been people like us, and like you, worshipping in this hallowed space since 1642, and we hope to continue this tradition in God’s Grace forever. From the very beginning we have used this small historic place for worship, and it has always contained a congregation known for its exceptionally large heart filled with the Holy Spirit and love for the ministry of Christ to which we are called. 

We seek to discover and grow in Christ's love by upholding six individual and interdependent ministries- help us grow by joining one of the ministries that appeals to you!

  • demonstrating Christ's love:  OUTREACH 

  • incorporating Christ's love: FELLOWSHIP

  • educating in Christ's love: DISCIPLESHIP

  • communicating Christ's love: EVANGELISM

  • celebrating Christ's love: WORSHIP

  • caring for Christ's resources: STEWARDSHIP

Glebe Church Leadership

Vestry

The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property.

 

Glebe Church has 12 Vestry members, presided by the Rector (or the Senior Warden). Vestry members are usually elected at the annual parish meeting.

There are two wardens. The Senior Warden leads the parish between rector and is a support person for the rector. The Junior Warden often has responsibility for church property and buildings. A treasurer and a register, or clerk may be chosen. 

The basic responsibilities of the vestry are to help define and articulate the mission of the congregation; to support the church’s mission by word and deed, to select the rector, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage resources and finances.

Our current Vestry members are shown here. If you need to get in touch with any of them, please contact the church office.
