The Episcopal Church of the Apostles is a mission church still financially dependent on the Diocese of Arizona. Since Apostles is not yet a parish, the lay leadership group is called a Bishop’s Committee rather than a Vestry.

The Bishop’s Committee handles the business end of church activities with Team Leaders and Committees reporting through it. The “BC” currently meets on the third Saturday of each month at 8 am.

Beginning in January 2011 the Committee will grow to seven elected members and the Junior (People’s) Warden. The Senior Warden is appointed by the pastor. Committee members serve for three-year terms with staggered retirement. With the added new Committee member position there will be three seats in the election process at the Annual Meeting in January 2011 plus the Junior Warden. Returning elected members will be Kaaren Boothroyd, Fred Chapman, Nan Morgan and Carol Willans. Marilyn Myers is the current Senior Warden, Dennis Stricker is the current Junior Warden.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Bishop’s Committee, or would like additional information, please contact Pastor Megan Traquair at 544-9660 or Senior Warden Marilyn Myers at 219-6144.
