Director of Music
Sterling Savage grew up in a small Methodist church in Rocky Mount, N.C. Because her grandmother was the church's organist and her grandfather was a piano tuner, she was destined to study piano. She studied piano under Mrs. Bette Shuler for twelve years and began her career as a church musician playing for Sunday School assembly and night services at the age of twelve. After studying organ in her small town, she went on to play for that same church for fifteen more years. St. Paul United Methodist was her heart. When she finally moved to Charlotte in 1990, she became a substitute organist with the Charlotte chapter of the American Guild of Organists. She played for many Charlotte Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Lutheran, and even an Anglican church. Membership in the AGO even carried her to Gastonia, Concord, and eventually, to us. Sterling is a member of Myers Park United Methodist Church where she is actively involved in local missions. She runs the D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) program during Freedom School which her church sponsors every summer at Sedgefield Elementary. That program provides one hundred students a month of learning, activities, and comraderie with interns and volunteers each day. During the school year, she and two other lay leaders run a volunteer reading program called For The Love of Reading at Sedgefield Elementary which provides approximately twenty second graders with dedicated one-on-one reading buddies two days a week from October thru April. this is their fourth year of serving these children. She also attends Bible study classes each year. The latest one is entitled "Spiritual Discernment." All of this is possible because she is a happily retired middle school teacher who taught in Charlotte Mecklenburg schools for almost twenty-five years. She taught English/Language Arts and French. Nowadays, she lives in South Charlotte. She lives with David Savage and Borden, a very spoiled mini schnauzer.
