Our Roots
Dedicated in 1922 and
in their first building in 1924, the family of Sherman Baptist began
with the desire to worship God and build up their community. Over the
80 plus years that followed,
this country congregation has both fulfilled and remains focused on that
vision. Settled in the midst of a quickly changing community and
challenged with community needs that are growing, Sherman still seeks to
worship God and to heal the broken lives in our community. Anyone
attending Sherman for the first time will notice the family atmosphere,
the challenge of God's word, the opportunity of salvation in Christ, and
the encouragement of new friends. At Sherman, we are addressing the
modern needs of the world with the timeless promises of Jesus.
Our Growth
Today's
world is so different from our 1920's ancestors. From farm life to
modern life, people's needs have become more complex and stressful. Our
church family has sought to meet these increasing needs with excellent
childcare, superior family counseling and relationship building
activities for the whole family. We try to translate the words of Jesus
into actions and preaching that is relevant and powerful. Youth
activities, mission trips, churchwide fellowships and outreach events
are offered throughout each year to give every person at Sherman a
chance to learn and apply the word of God in their own lives. Our newly
renovated sanctuary gives people a chance to worship God fully and
engage with the sermon on both an auditory and visual level. As we say
every Sunday, "Our one desire is that each person present will hear the
voice of God speaking to their heart."
Our Challenge
As our community continues to grow and continues to change, our new challenge is even greater. Our church is looking at needing to expand it's education facility and fellowship area. Our congregation desires to increase personal involvement in every worship experience. Our family still holds a burning desire to see broken lives be made whole through Christ. Our church wants to grow stronger in both worship of God and ministry to our community.
