People Make St. John's Work

St. John's, like all Episcopal parishes, is governed by a group of lay persons, Trustees, like the Vestry of many parishes, who have stewardship responsibility for the church. They work with our Rector, the Rev. Bruce Chilton, and our Curate, the Rev. Virginia Grab, and other clerical and lay staff. From time to time, St. John's also sponsors an aspirant for priesthood, as is the case of Eleanor Prior who has been associated with St. John's for many years as a parishioner and for the past two years as an aspirant. Where the name below is in white, there is a link to further biographical information.

In addition, there are committees that assist in support of worship and ministry that are described in the Service Committees section of our web site
