EdiWhere We've Been.... The Historic Church was built in1855 after 14 years of ministry in the area. Creating a building where people could serve God through service to neighbors, families, the sick and displaced people was the culmination of prayers, hopes and dreams. In the 1970's the congregation moved across the street and the building served a number of different purposes such as Independence House, Light House North and as a set shop for the church's Youth Theatre.
Where we are...Fall of 2016 brought vandalism. Break-ins resulted in damage to newly restored windows, the original chandelier, front doors and box pews. The break-ins also resulted in wild animals entering the building. Beginning in the spring of 2017 Sashabaw Presbyterian partnered with the newly formed Clarkston Schools “Clarkston Construction Technology” to restore the building! This provides the school district with a place to teach hands on skills such as wiring, construction, math, etc.
Where we are going... We envision a place where everyone is welcome. A place where holistic healers make well, musicians practice and perform, creatives make and teach, entrepreneurs dream and develop, families celebrate, non-profits gather and there is a place for everyone. We envision a community space where we are “Restoring Hope: Mind, Body and Spirit” and supporting the well-being of all people.
If you would like to be a part of this restoration please email the church at sashabawpresbyterianchurch@gmail.com.
The project is in need of...donations of building supplies, gift certificates to Lowes, ACE or other home building companies, landscaping supplies, dumpsters, large building equipment, lighting fixtures, people who have knowledge about restoration, and people to help plan and care for landscaping, and anything more you can think of!
If you would like to utilize the space once restoration is complete please contact us. We are currently utlizing space in the current church (across the street).
