About New Heritage Baptist

  • East Sherman Baptist Church was founded in 1894
  • By the mid-20th century, East Sherman was reaching the lost in and around East Sherman for the glory of the Lord to such an incredible extent that it was the 2nd largest church in Sherman, regularly seeing over 400 in worship and hundreds of children attending Vacation Bible School.
  • Following the pattern of the early church, East Sherman planted a number of churches in Sherman, birthing West Sherman Baptist Church.
  • Sensing the Lord leading us to re-make, re-build, and re-launch, East Sherman sold our 34,000 square-foot campus on the corner of King and Willow in East Sherman to Grayson Chin Baptist Church on May 5, 2018.
  • The Lord led us to purchase 9.5 acres on Heritage Pkwy and build a new campus on September 17, 2018.
  • East Sherman formally changed our name to New Heritage on March 3, 2019.
  • With the assistance of Volunteer Christian Builders, Forest Avenue Baptist Church, Parkside Baptist Church, our own members, and Bluestone, our new campus was completed the first week of December 2019.
