What began in a log cabin to serve a small congregation, Sharp Street Church is the oldest African American Church in Montgomery County.  Serving as a pillar of the community for 200 years, Sharp Street Church is often referred to as “the heart of the neighborhood.” In addition to its spiritual role, the church stands as a reminder of the neighborhood’s large and vibrant Black community that has lived in Sandy Spring for generations.
