Growing Disciples who Make a Difference

Welcome

Sycamore is a community of faith committed to growing disciples of Jesus Christ and making a difference in our community and world.

We want you here!  Worship celebrations are Sunday mornings at 8:45 a.m. (Traditional) and 11:15 a.m (Contemporary).  Dress comfortably.

 Grow with Us.  We have classes and groups on Sunday mornings at 10:15 am and various times during the week.  We have classes and groups for children, youth, young and older adults.  A good place to start is Sunday school or Pastor Bert's Prayer and Bible study group each Thursday morning at 10 a.m.

Make A Difference.  Sycamore is committed to mission work locally, regionally and around the world.  While financially supporting God's work  is important, but we make a point of rolling up our sleeves and putting our hands to work as well.

To get a taste of what's happening right now, visit out church news and information facebook page (no FB account needed)  or read out latest newsletter.
 
Come join us in meeting God, growing as a person, and making a difference in the world.

Sign up by emailing Secretary Nancy with the number you want called.  If you ever missed a phone message or want to hear a message again, then simply call 877-698-3261 from the number we call you, press 1 and follow the prompts.  Its quick and easy.
