Meet the Staff

The staff members of St. Michael’s Church in Grosse Pointe Woods – including both clergy and lay professionals – keep the home fires burning (and occasionally put out fires!) by supporting the work of our lay volunteers. Staff responsibilities touch on virtually every area of parish life, from Sunday worship to pastoral care, from music to building maintenance, and from Church School to finance.
Staff members are employed by the Vestry of St. Michael’s Church. All paid employees report to, and are supervised by, the Rector. The diocesan canons governing staff relationships may be found at: The Episcopal Diocese of Michigan/Governance
