Church Profile West Sherman Baptist Church
(WSBC)of Sherman, Texas is a church family that values Biblical preaching, heartfelt worship and Great Commission engagement above all else. WSBC was established as a mission of East Sherman Baptist Church and was known as "Mission Church." First services were held in the chapel in November 1972. The formal organization of the new church as West Sherman Baptist Church was in January 1974 and became an independent Southern Baptist Church. There have been 4 pastors of WSBC since 1974, the last pastor being Danny Wood, serving from 1979 to 2025. In the past WSBC has experienced numerical and spiritual growth but over the last few years has experienced a season of gradual decline. WSBC has a total membership of 670 but are currently having approximately 30 to 50 in attendance. From 2020 to 2024, WSBC has had 6 baptisms. Unlike many churches, WSBC has continued to have Sunday Morning Sunday School/Worship, Sunday Evening Worship, and Wednesday night Bible Study/Prayer Meeting, with Mission Friends, GA's and RA's meeting on Wednesday night. The Mission Friends, GA's, RA's, and Youth have between 30 and 40 from the neighboring apartments each Wednesday. There is a fresh expectation as we search for a new pastor. Today the average age is 55 of active church members but our church membership would welcome young people, young families into our fellowship. Our ethnic diversity of active church members is 98% Caucasian 2% African American. Overall WSBC is a loving church desiring that we spread the gospel to the world around us. We are sitting in a community that is growing exponentially with new houses and apartments going up daily. The fields are truly white unto harvest. We are excited about what God will do through the leadership of a new pastor.
