About Us
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
John 13:34 (NIV)
Sargent Memorial Presbyterian Church, nestled in the heart of "east of the river" neighborhood of Deanwood, stands as a beacon of faith and community strength. Established in 1908, this African-American congregation has been a pill of support, offering spiritual guidance and essential services to its members, and the surrounding community.
Through more than a century of dedication, Sargent has cultivated a vibrant and inclusive congregation, embracing diversity and unity. With a commitment to social justice, we've actively engaged in initiatives that uplift the marginalized, providing food drives, educational programs, and mentorship opportunities for local youth.
Our historic church building, a symbol of perseverance, serves as a hub for community gatherings, cultural celebrations, and outreach programs. Sargent Memorial Presbyterian Church remains as a steadfast institution, demonstrating that faith can be a powerful catalyst for positive change, even in challenging circumstances.
