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 Dr. Brian Keith McCollum, M.Div., M.S.
Paul and Silas sang at midnight… and the prison doors opened. October’s message of liberation speaks to every area bound by fear, addiction, guilt, or injustice. This series calls the congregation to spiritual and social freedom, reminding us that praise still breaks chains. Each supporting scripture reinforces that Christ’s mission is to set captives free, both inwardly and outwardly. Click here for more information!
Paul and Silas found themselves in a place where they had every reason to be discouraged. They had been beaten, imprisoned, and placed in chains, yet at midnight they chose to pray and sing praises to God. Their circumstances had not changed, but their response to those circumstances did. Then, suddenly, an earthquake shook the prison, the doors opened, and their chains fell away. Their story reminds us that God can move even when we cannot see a way out. Sometimes the breakthrough comes while we are still in the prison. Sometimes the miracle begins with a decision to praise God before we see the answer. Click here for more information!
As part of our On F.I.R.E. revival, today’s Black History Moment highlights Mellody Hobson, a nationally recognized business leader, investor, and advocate for financial literacy. Her journey from a challenging childhood on Chicago’s South Side to becoming Co-CEO of Ariel Investments demonstrates the power of intentionality, perseverance, and using one’s gifts to create opportunities for others. Connected to today’s sermon, “Mind Your Business,” based on 2 Kings 5:1–5, 9–14 and 1 Corinthians 3:5–9, this Black History Moment reminds us of the importance of knowing our assignment, focusing on the work God has placed before us, and trusting Him with the results. Discover how Mellody Hobson’s story challenges us to be intentional about our purpose, our gifts, and our impact. Click here for more information!
