Dear Sugar Creek Family, What you hold in your hands is the next chapter in a story that started 43 years ago. It's a story of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things. People like you have responded to God’s invitation to be part of something amazing; something larger than you and larger than me. This is the story of Sugar Creek Baptist Church and how God has called us to love and lead all people to life-change in Christ. Most of you have already experienced or heard of the incredible things God has done through this church. Those stories of life-change happened because people like you listened to God’s voice and responded. As we REACH Missouri City, we will surely see far greater things than we’ve ever imagined! Please read the following pages carefully and ask yourself what you are willing to commit to see this story of life-change continue. More importantly, what do you believe God is asking you to commit? Pray for the faith to meet His request. Ask your family what impact they want to have in their schools, workplace, community and world. Then pray that God would give you the clarity of mind and conviction of heart to respond to Him in faith and obedience. Thanks for your partnership in accomplishing this vision. I can’t wait to see this story continue. We love being your Pastors,

THE JOURNEY REACHMissouri City to
In 2013, Sugar Creek voted to become a Multi-campus church. That year we launched the Sienna Campus. Our people traded the comfort of our main campus for early Sunday mornings setting up and tearing down a temporary worship center at Ridge Pointe High School.
Most recently, a new parking lot was added to allow 140 more cars on the campus and God provided lease space to accommodate more children and make room for more adults. But the growth has only started.

OUR WEEKLY WORSHIP ATTENDANCE HAS GROWN 250% AND THE PROSPECT OF HAVING TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY IS A REAL POSSIBILITY. WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT WE ARE PART OF THE ANSWER THAT PEOPLE ARE PRAYING FOR, AND SAYING “WE HAVE NO MORE ROOM” IS JUST NOT AN OPTION.
SIENNA TO MISSOURI CITY
AVERAGE ATTENDANCE: 900
In 2017, God opened the door for us to purchase a permanent facility in Missouri City. After a fast remodel, our members excitedly moved into their new facility and attendance soared. One service soon became three services while many members parked and rode shuttles to make room for the new families.

HOW WE WILL REACH
Missouri City
I WILL MAKE YOU AS A LIGHT FOR THE NATIONS, THAT MY SALVATION MAY REACH TO THE END OF THE EARTH. ISAIAH 49:6B The REACH Missouri City Campaign is about reaching this region with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our church is located at the cross-section of great affluence and poverty. We know that there are many children in our region that eat less that one meal a day. We know that the foreclosure rate in our community is higher than ever, mainly because of addiction and divorce. We know that teenagers in our area assume their value is based on retweets and follows, but yet we also know that God has called us to go and reach these people where they are. We believe the next steps in this journey are:
REACH Existing Multicultural Neighborhoods surrounding campus
REACH New people by enlarging our current facilities* REACH New Housing Developments growing around campus
REACH Families in the region of the next campus
*To make room for the new people God will bring, we will also enlarge our current facilities. We will build a new worship space on the backside of our current building, growing our capacity from 300 to 700 people per service. We will also double the amount of our children’s space to over 300 children per service. This will allow us to accommodate 1000 children and adults per service and provide a welcoming environment for God to change lives.

campaign goal God often gives us seemingly out-of-reach dreams so we cannot accomplish them through our own ability. We have a goal of raising $4 million above our annual ministry budget through 3-year commitments. Raising this amount of money is no small task, but we know God can do immeasurably more than what we ask for or imagine. To REACH Missouri City requires the courage to acknowledge His calling and the faith to put it into action.
