📰About Siloam Baptist Church Expansion
Siloam Baptist Church in Simms is proceeding with a $2,200,000 expansion project that adds 11,600 square feet of new space to the existing facility at 3436 FM 561. The filing, registered with TDLR in February 2025, identifies the work as additions to an existing building with a scheduled completion date of December 2025. Because the state has not yet recorded a final inspection, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
Project Scope and Design
The expansion is designed by Joe Crews Architect, LLC and includes a new sanctuary, additional children's education space, extra restrooms, and expanded parking. Fred Dwain Cawyer is the registered accessibility specialist for this project. The estimated cost of $190 per square foot is close to the county median of $188 for similar additions in Bowie County, while the total project cost is above the median estimated cost for this type of work in the region.

The Bowie County unemployment rate was 4.8 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. TDLR completed plan review in February 2025, and construction was scheduled to finish in December 2025. However, since the agency has not yet recorded a final inspection, the public record does not confirm whether the construction has been completed or if the facility is operational.
The project represents a significant investment in local infrastructure, adding substantial square footage to an existing structure. The specific scope of adding a sanctuary and education space indicates a focus on expanding community services. The financial scale of the project places it in the top quarter of estimated costs for similar additions in the county, reflecting the complexity and size of the proposed changes to the church facility.
