DISCOVERY IS AT THE HEART OF FAITH, and this is why faith is an adventure. In fact, with God, faith is always an invitation to discover. Discovery involves searching, digging, and leaning into something. It isn’t just about arriving at the right answers, but about asking the right questions. The Bible points to an ongoing search to discover the living Jesus.

We now live in a culture that has had success in shaping Jesus in our own image. In many circles, Jesus has become more of a mascot than the center of existence. At Sycamore View, we feel compelled by God to not offer up or paint a picture of a tamed Jesus, a Church of Christ shaped Jesus, an American Jesus, a Jesus who only atones for sin, or a Jesus who hates all of the same people we do. We want to call people to the Jesus with dirty feet; the one who walked the rough terrain of the Judean countryside calling together the rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, male and female. We believe his words are true and that his life is to be imitated. Faith in Jesus is all about taking a plunge into His existence. Our mission statement “Helping People See Jesus” is more than a motto that passes the t-shirt test — it's our way of life.
