Anyone can become a member of the Vergers Guild. The only requirement for membership is that you are interested in the ministry of the Verger.  Join us today!

Paid membership in the VGEC helps make all of the VGEC resources available to all vergers around the world. You do NOT have to be a member to access VGEC online materials, but paid memberships do pay for all of the services that we provide.
