‘Elder’ is the name given to a member of the church who takes on the responsibility of making sure that the church is run according to the guidelines laid down by the United Reformed Church

We have 6 elders at present, one of whom is the Church secretary. They meet once a month to deal with routine matters (such as who is on duty on a given Sunday to make sure everything is in place for the service; concerns for people in the church etc.) and any number of concerns, events in the church’s life etc.
