Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
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.

June Sermon Series: Return to Joy
-
Part 1: June 01, 2025 - Communion Sunday (In-Person/Hybrid Service)
In a world that often drains our spirit, how do we find our way back to joy? Join us for Part 1 of our June sermon series, Return to Joy, as Reverend Brian K. McCollum opens with a powerful message from Psalm 51:12-17. In this passage, David pleads for God to restore the joy of salvation and renew a right spirit within him. It’s a cry that resonates with anyone who has ever felt distant from the peace and purpose found in God’s presence. This message reminds us that even in our brokenness, God invites us back into fullness, healing, and—most importantly—joy. Don’t miss this heartfelt beginning to a transformative five-part journey.

Part 2: June 08, 2025 (In-Person/Hybrid Service)
Do you ever feel like you’ve drifted too far from God? In Part 2 of our Return to Joy series, Rev. Brian K. McCollum explores Malachi 3:6-7—a divine call to return. God reminds us that despite our turning away, His character does not change. He still invites us back with open arms. This sermon is a powerful reminder that joy begins with reconnection—with God, with our purpose, and with the community of faith. No matter how far you've gone, God is ready to restore. It's never too late to come back home.
