Our History

Sycamore Creek Church is a "daughter congregation" of Holt United Methodist Church. Pastor Barb Flory came to Holt in 1998 to serve as its associate pastor and to begin the two-year task of planning the new-church plant, assembling a launch team, and getting the word out to the community.

Our first worship service was on Nov. 12, 2000, at Lansing Christian School. Since that date, Sycamore Creek has grown in attendance, developed a thriving children's and youth ministry, and launched numerous small groups in which people come together to learn more about Christ, develop friendships, and grow in their faith.

Sycamore Creek is a "come-as-you-are" church where you don't have to get dressed up for worship and where the music and message are contemporary, relevant to today, and designed for people's everyday lives. It is a congregation that is welcoming and inviting to all persons, and a place where worship is heartfelt, warm, and honors God from the heart of the people.
