In 2008, Sycamore View began a capital campaign to update the building to accommodate our thriving church. We knew God was calling us to create a space for young people, especially those right here in our neighborhood, but we weren't exactly sure what that would look like. As God does, he threw open doors and showed us exactly what that could look like. Years later, the Boys and Girls Club at Sycamore View is still thriving and growing in ways we could have never imagined.

In 2028, Sycamore View Church will turn 50 years old, and we want to do this right.

We want to be great story-tellers. So we’re launching what we’re calling “50 for 50.” Telling fifty stories. Over fifty months. Celebrating fifty years. At the beginning of every month until the spring of 2028, we will release a new story celebrating events, ministries, people, and risks, all in attempt to honor ways God has shaped and formed this church.Sycamore View is a community church based in Memphis, Tennessee.
