Local United Reformed Churches are led by a group of Elders, appointed by the Church Meeting, whose responsibility include the spiritual and pastoral oversight of the church.

At St Andrew's Elders also act as Trustees of the St Andrew's Charity and usually serve for 3 years at a time.

St Andrew’s has 20 dedicated Elders, most of whom have a group of people who they seek to offer support and care for, working in conjunction with the Minister and Pastoral Care Group.
