St. David’s Leadership Team
As we attempt to discern God’s plan for His church here at St. David’s, important decisions are made by the Vestry, or parish family, at our annual Vestry Meeting held in February each year.
Following this Vestry Meeting, and until the next Vestry Meeting, Parish Council is charged with bringing the decisions to fruition, ensuring to the extent possible that all decisions fall within the annual budget adapted by Vestry.
The Diocese, or geographical region, of New Westminster has certain by-laws and regulations which govern the administration and running of the Parish. According to these regulations, or Canons, the Rector and the Wardens are the point where the “buck stops here”. They are responsible for the well-being of the church.
The St. David’s Leadership Team, our Parish Council, is best described by the following chart:
Rector: The Reverend Paul Woehrle
Archdeacon: The Venerable John Struthers
Deacon: The Reverend Karin Fulcher
Rector’s Warden: Sandy Simpson
Chair of Parish Council Sandy Simpson
People’s Warden: David Sanders
Associate Warden: Jennifer Tilbury
Elected Members: Steve Potts
Stephanie Williams
Pat Stark
Calvin Smith
Margriet Warren
Nancy Booth Phil Davie
Non Elected Members: Marilyn Sparkes, Vestry Clerk
Herb Von Hockoff , Treasurer
Each elected member of Parish Council has a Parish Ministry area for which they are responsible. While they may not necessarily chair the Ministry team, they report the team activities to Parish Council to ensure the leadership as a whole is involved in all ministries.
