Session & Deacons

Elders

In the Presbyterian tradition, elders are elected by the congregation to serve on the session, together with the pastor(s) of the church. The session is responsible for governing the congregation and guiding the spiritual life of the church, so that the congregation is and becomes, a community of faith, hope, love, and witness. Elders are ordained for life and serve at all levels of the Presbyterian Church. You may contact our Session at: session@sturge.org or  clerk@sturge.org
