Sinopsis
Sycamore started as a college ministry in 2008 after the Youth Pastor at Montavilla Baptist Church asked us "what would church look like if you could drop all the baggage?" The question sparked a process of discovery for the college group of the time. Sycamore is the church that was birthed out of that time. Since then we have faithfully met on Saturday nights continuing to seek God's face.Sycamore aims, like its namesake the tree, to be a platform for seeing Christ. Just like Zacchaeus climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus through a crowd, we hope that Sycamore may help you see a clearer picture of Christ.We normally meet every Saturday evening.
