What We Believe
At Sylvan Hills Community Church, we believe that Life Change Happens Here—because where Jesus is, lives are transformed. We believe that faith is more than a belief—it’s a transformed life, and this statement reflects the unshakable truths that guide us as we follow Jesus together.
What denomination are we?
We are an interdenominational church, which simply means we’re not hung up on labels. What matters most is knowing Jesus and following His Word. If you love Jesus and trust the Bible, you’ll feel right at home here.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s perfect Word—our foundation for truth, life, and faith. It tells the greatest story ever: how God loves us, saves us, and calls us to live for Him.
God
There is one true God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He created us for a relationship with Him, and despite our failures, He made a way for us to come home through Jesus.
Jesus
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the only way to eternal life. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again in victory. One day, He’s coming backto make all things new!
Salvation
We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. You can’t earn it, buy it, or be good enough to deserve it. It’s a gift. The moment you trust Jesus as Lord and Savior, your life is changed forever.
The Church
Church isn’t a building—it’s a family on mission. We exist to go into our community, love people like Jesus, and make disciples. We aren’t here to sit still; we’re here to make an impact. We celebrate life change through baptism and remember Christ’s sacrifice through the Lord’s Supper.
Marriage & Family
God designed marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman—a picture of Christ’s love for His church. Families matter to God, and we’re here to strengthen marriages, encourage parents, and raise up the next generation to follow Jesus.
Worship
Worship isn’t about a specific style—it’s about lifting up Jesus in everything we do. Whether through singing, serving, giving, or going, our focus is always on bringing glory to Him.
The Mission
Jesus didn’t call us to stay put—He called us to GO. That’s why we’re all about reaching our community and beyond with the Gospel. Whether it’s across the street or around the world, we believe everyone needs Jesus.
The Future
This world isn’t the end of the story. Jesus is coming back, and when He does, every wrong will be made right, every tear will be wiped away, and those who belong to Him will rejoice forever. Until that day, we live on mission—unshaken, unafraid, and full of hope.
Your Invitation
You were made for more than just existing. You were made for life change. If you’re searching for hope, purpose, or a fresh start, Jesus is the answer. He’s ready to change your life—are you ready to say yes?
We’d love to walk this journey with you. Come see what God is doing at Sylvan Hills Community Church—because Life Change Happens Here!
