We are so glad that you’ve taken a moment to visit the Sargent Memorial Presbyterian Church website. Here, we practice Radical Hospitality, which means we strive to welcome and embrace all people as Christ has welcomed us—without reservation, with open arms, and with a heart full of grace. Our mission is to bring people closer to Christ, and we believe that by following the will and way of the Lord, we can make a true difference in our lives, our community, and in the
world.
As we embark on this journey together, we are engaging in the Genesis Project, a theme inspired by the opening words of Scripture: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Just as God created a beautiful world and breathed life into it, we believe that God is able to create New Beginnings, New Chapters, and New Opportunities in the life of our church, in the neighborhood of Deanwood, and beyond.
At Sargent Memorial Presbyterian Church, we offer a variety of ways to grow in faith. Our Sermon Series, Bible Studies, and engaging events and activities provide opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship, and service. We believe that God has a unique plan for each of us, and we invite you to join us as we seek to discover and live out that plan.
Whether you are new to the area, new to church, or simply seeking a place to grow closer to Christ, we invite you to join us on Sunday mornings for worship. Feel free to bring a family member or close friend, as we gather together to worship, learn, and experience the love of God in community.
We look forward to meeting you and walking with you on this exciting journey of faith!
Yours in Christ,
Reverend Brian Keith McCollum, M.Div., M.S.
May calls the church to wake up and walk in the light. Paul’s message to the Ephesians… “Awake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead”… is both a spiritual alarm clock and a resurrection anthem. This series is perfect for spring: a season of new beginnings, vision, and purpose. These texts push believers to move from spiritual complacency to holy conviction, reminding us that illumination precedes transformation.
Paul reminds believers that because Christ died for us, we are called to live together in encouragement, peace, and mutual respect. God did not create us to walk through life alone. Click here for more!
This week’s Black History Moment highlights the courageous legacy of Ida B. Wells, a trailblazing voice for truth and justice. In the face of danger and opposition, she exposed injustice and refused to let darkness have the final word. Her story powerfully complements our message, “Walking in the Light,” reminding us that following Christ calls us to live with courage, integrity, and unwavering commitment to truth. 👉🏾 Click here for more information!
