is a congregation which has worshipped and served God in a quiet, peaceful  community in northeast Titus County for over 100 years.  Although the membership is made up primarily of the folks in the neighborhood of the church buildings, several families drive in from more distant locations.

The church strives to have a vision for the world through mission giving and active participation in local, state, national and international fellowship.

New members are welcome to join the membership by one of the following three methods:
        Baptism:  Mt. Sylvia will gladly receive any person who professes a conversion experience of trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ as his/her personal Savior.  After baptism, that person is received into full fellowship with the church.

        Promise of a Letter:  Mt. Sylvia gladly receives members who currently hold active membership in another church of like faith and practice.  Upon promise that written evidence of their active membership can be obtained, the candidate for membership may be received as a member pending receipt of their letter.

        Statement:  If written evidence of current membership is unavailable,  members can be received, based on their personal testimony, that they desire membership in Mt. Sylvia Church and were baptised by a church of like faith and practice.

Goals and Programs
Every effort is made to provide a Sunday School program to meet the age and maturity levels of all children, young people and adults who would want to attend.  At any given time, some classes may not be active, but as students are available, a teacher and class will also be maintained.

Currently, the youth program which meets regularly during the public school year on Wednesday evening, includes Bible Clubs for the children and an active Teen Program for the teenagers.

The First Sunday experience is a noon potluck buffet intended to provide an opportunity for the church family and visitors to share fellowship and become better acquainted.

An active Ladies Auxiliary meets monthly for Bible study and fellowship.  They are also active in promoting, sponsoring and/or doing projects that benefit the church.

Preaching the Gospel  is our bottom line!

Mt. Sylvia currently has a pastor and three deacons who are dedicated to meeting your spiritual needs.  The three active deacons are:

                                                    Odis Homer         572-7505

                                                    Tex Lilly              572-5755
 
                                                    Randy Homer      572-7368 or 577-2839

Pastoral services include counseling to meet your spiritual needs in personal,  marital, inter family relational, inter cultural, temporal or eternal concerns.  If you wish to discuss any matter with the pastor, call for an appointment.  If you are unable to contact the pastor in a crisis or immediate prayer need situation, contact one of the elders above who will either try to meet your need or make further efforts to contact the pastor.
