The Creator, Holy Spirit and Jesus are all God. God is one in three persons.
The Bible has a lot to teach us about who God is, what it means to be human, and how to live a good life. It teaches about our responsibility in the social, political and economic landscapes we inhabit. The Bible is authoritative and sufficient testimony for the construction of faith, inspired by God and written by humans.
Everyone reflects the image of God. No exceptions. Inclusion means loving everyone because of who they are, not despite it. We welcome everyone to full and equal participation in the church, embracing peoples of all races, cultures, abilities, sexual orientations and genders.

Welcome to the Presbyterian Church of Sweet Hollow! We are a small, caring community of faith. All are welcome regardless of gender, sexuality, faith experience, or other socio-political categories. We look forward to getting to know you and including you in our congregation. On a normal week, you may find us in worship (on Sunday mornings), in discussion (mid-week), in prayer (constantly), in mission (monthly and quarterly) and in fellowship. Come as you are – with questions, in jeans or more formal attire, with family or by yourself, hungry, confident, confused, joyful, or determined.
Worship services are on Sunday mornings at 10am. Special services are advertised seasonally.
Children and families are always welcome!
Sweet Hollow is part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). We are a protestant and theologically reformed congregation. Members join us from a variety of religious (and not religious) backgrounds.
Contact the pastor if you have further questions.
The Sweet Hollow Presbyterian Church was first established on May 25, 1829 with 45 charter members. The first Pastor was the Rev. Joseph Nimmo. Sweet Hollow closed in 1930 and reopened in 1944 for a funeral of Edward Baylis, a long time member and Elder of the old congregation. This service renewed the spirit of the church and led to the reopening of Sweet Hollow. Moved to a different property in 1974, the historic Sanctuary continues to foster faith and friendship in this neighborhood.

Ordained in the Presbyterian Church USA, Pastor Wade arrived to Sweet Hollow in 2021. Having previously served in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa, Pastor Wade has a skill set that specializes in church revitalization, transitional ministry and he has a passion for small churches.
Married with 8 children, he is a pickleball junkie (he is a pro instructor, sponsored player and referee) and loves watching movies/shows connected to the MCU and Star Wars universes.
In his years of ministry, Pastor Wade leads out of the themes of God's inclusive love, Christ's call to equity for the marginalized and leading through a hope-filled vision of the church.
On any given day, you will find Pastor Wade being hands-on at the church, wearing jeans, shorts, pickleball gear or clerical garb. But most importantly, you will most likely find him with a smile on his face looking forward to meeting YOU!
