Church Leadership

Jesus said, “But whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant … just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many.”  (Matthew 20:26, 28)

Shadyside Presbyterian Church is blessed to have members who generously give of themselves and share their talents to benefit the church and its mission. The officers of the church – elders, deacons, and trustees – provide leadership, helping us set direction and grow spiritually.
