You were created to be connected to God's
family.

"His unchanged plan has always
been to adopt us into His own
family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ.
And this gave Him great pleasure."

God treasures
relationships. After all, He is love. He has existed for all
eternity in relationship and identifies Himself in family terms:
Father, Son and Spirit. And, since you are created in God's image,
it stands to reason your nature is relational as well. You are made
to belong. So while you are with us, we hope you start to feel like
part of the family. |
Get Plugged In
When we place our faith in Christ, God
becomes our Father, and we become His children. Other believers
become our brothers and sisters, and the church becomes our
spiritual family. This is our heritage.
As Rick Warren puts it in The Purpose
Driven Life, "The moment you were spiritually born into God's
family, you were given some astounding birthday gifts: the family
name, the family likeness, family privileges, family intimate
access, and the family inheritance."
Community, the state of being
connected in family, is a high value for us at The Sycamore Church.
We believe everyone needs a place to belong, and we actively work
to provide rich, secure opportunities to plug into our church
family.
5 Ways to Connect at The Sycamore
Church
. Hang out for a few
minutes before and after one of our Sunday services to meet some of
the folks. If you hang around, we promise someone will come up and
start a conversation.
. Accept the pastor's invitation to hook up and
get acquainted.
. Participate in one of our Pastor's Chats
offered once each quarter. It's a great way to investigate the
vision, values and structure of The Sycamore Church.
. Join a Life Group. The best way to feel at
home in The Sycamore Church is to actively participate in a Life
Group. These groups meet weekly and provide the best way to develop
friendships and fellowship while maturing in your faith.

Sycamore Church. A very good way to connect with people is
