Committee Charges

A Committee Charge is a description of the purpose and function of a group of people working together on a particular ministry. (For ease of reference, the term "Committee Charge" is used for all these descriptions, but the group described may be a team, task force, working group, or other group in addition to a committee.)

Some groups are "Committees of the Vestry," where the charge and direction comes from the vestry and members are formally appointed by the vestry, and others are "Committees of the Rector," where the charge and direction come directly from the rector and members serve at the discretion of the rector without need of vestry approval.
