About the Resource Management
Leadership Groups
In 2009, the Resource Management group was divided into two separate groups, the Property Management group and the Investment group. A Finance committee was also formed.
- The Property Management Leadership Group is responsible for the improvements, maintenance, and operations of St. James’ buildings and grounds. Heidi Philley chairs this committee.
- The Investment Committee manages the portfolio of investments for both endowment and non-endowment funds, and advises the vestry on future income from those investments. Gordon Hayes, Jr., chairs this committee.
- The Finance Committee coordinates stewardship and investment income with the budget projections developed by the treasurer, and it assists the vestry with determining a final budget. Craig Heuss chairs this committee.

Stewardship
My church is composed
of people like me.
I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly
if I am.
Its pews willl be filled
if I help fill them.
It will do great work
if I work.
It will make generous gifts
to many causes
if I am a generous giver.
It will bring other people
into its worship and fellowship
if I invite and bring them.
It will be a church of loyalty
and love, of fearlessness
and faith, a church with a
noble spirit, if I,
who make it what it is,
am filled with these
same things.
Therefore, with the help of God,
I shall dedicate myself
to the task of being
all the things that I
want my church to be.
