New to The Sycamores Church?

We'd love to answer any questions you might have about our church, our community, and what we believe. Please let us know if we can serve you in any way.

About Us

Sycamores Church was planted in 2013 and was used as a facility to train RV Park and free medical clinic Chaplain for CRM International. We have undergone several changes over time, with the major one being our conversion to a Texas Baptist church plant two years ago. We are a small church, mission centric, and heavily invested in people.

Beliefs

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only authoritative Word of God. (I Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:25).
We believe in one God, eternally present in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Philippians 2:6; Matthew 3: 16-17; John 1:1; John 10:30; John 14:28; John 15:26; John 16:28).

Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only authoritative Word of God. (I Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:25).
2. We believe in one God, eternally present in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Philippians 2:6; Matthew 3: 16-17; John 1:1; John 10:30; John 14:28; John 15:26; John 16:28).
3. We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in his miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection from the dead, in His ascension to be seated at the right hand of God the Father, and in His personal and soon returning in power and in glory for His church. (Luke 1:26-35; John 20:11-17; Acts 1:8-11).
4. We believe the regeneration of the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of lost and sinful men (1 Corinthians 2:14-16).
5. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and lost, the saved to be forever with the Lord Jesus Christ and the lost to God's judgment. (1 Thessalonians 5:8-10; Matthew 25:46).
6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Jesus Christ. The evidence of that unity is the love that we have for one another. (John 17; Ephesians 4:1-16).
