How it all started...
Cedarwood Community Church began in 1996 with a simple vision: to create a church where people could come as they are, experience the love of God, and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
From the very beginning, Cedarwood has sought to be a church that is Real, Loving, Accepting, and Serving. Those aren’t just words from our past—they continue to shape who we are today.
For nearly three decades, God has used Cedarwood to minister to families in Waterloo and throughout our surrounding community. A lot has changed over the years, but two things haven’t: our commitment to God’s Word and our desire to reach people with the hope of Jesus.
That’s why our mission remains simple:
TO LEAD PEOPLE INTO A GROWING RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
Today, Cedarwood is a growing, multi-generational church family where there’s a place for everyone. We worship together, study God’s Word together, serve our community, support missions around the world, and—just as importantly—enjoy doing life together.
Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years, are just beginning to explore faith, or simply want to know what Cedarwood is all about, there’s a place for you here.
Come as you are. Bring your family. Ask questions. Get connected.
We’d love for Cedarwood to become a place you call home.

Expanding the vision...
Our vision is "Making Disciples....Changing Lives" We believe that a disciple is a follower of Jesus. Therefore as disciples we are to strive and live our lives for Jesus and like Jesus.
Where we are headed...
Our goal is to reach our community for Jesus Christ. We do this by reaching our community where they are. We don't believe in staying inside the walls of the church, we believe in getting our hands dirty and going to where the people and our community gather. Therefore we have ministries and partnerships throughout our community: Cedarwood Blessing box, Connie Maxwell Children's Home, Crossroads Pregnancy Center, Lander University, Laurens Baptist Association, Pathway House, SC Baptist Convention, Waterloo Elementary. In addition to these partnerships we provide other ministries to our community: AA (Help those fighting an alcohol addiction), Financial Peace University (Help those struggling with financial issues), GriefShare (Help those suffering the lost of a loved one), Journey to Hope (Help those fighting mental issue), Trail Life (Help with raising boys to become godly men). We work with missionaries in Haiti and Mexico. As well as, church plants in Indianapolis, Indiana.
