2026 Diocesan Vestry Training

Strong vestries build strong churches.

Whether you’re a newly elected vestry member or have served for years, this year’s Diocesan Vestry Training will equip you with the clarity and confidence needed to lead well. Designed especially for new vestry members – but open to all – this one-hour Zoom webinar offers practical guidance for faithful, effective service.

Clergy and vestry members are strongly encouraged to attend.

Canon Dan Smith and CFO Roman Franklin will lead the session, followed by Q&A. We’ll cover:

• A clear overview of the canons of the Diocese of Central Florida.
• The responsibilities of vestry and clergy – and how to work together wisely.
• The qualities and skills that help vestries thrive.

Participants may submit questions in advance using the online form below, or ask questions during the webinar via Zoom chat.

Can’t attend live? The session will be recorded and shared afterward.

Set aside the hour. Strengthen your leadership. Serve your church well.
