The Rev. Sid Burgess

Denomination: Presbyterian Church (USA) (PCUSA)
Organization: Edgewood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, AL

The Rev. Sid Burgess is pastor of Edgewood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, AL.

Some 'old timers' still remember Rev. Burgess from his time as a local TV announcer. He likes to tell about the time a woman asked him, "Didn't you used to be Sid Burgess?" Fact is, the "old" Sid Burgess is a veteran of 20 years of radio, TV, and cable TV in the Birmingham area.

But in 1986, he began a spiritual pilgrimage that ultimately led him to reclaim the sacred calling of his youth: the ministry of Word and sacrament. Sid continued his sojourn at the Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA, where he graduated with a Master of Divinity degree in 1990.

He was called as pastor of Edgewood Presbyterian Church on November 1, 1990.
