Our Mission

To build a loving community of believers that helps individuals and families fulfill the greatest commandments and the great commission.   

And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the great and first commandment.  And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”   Matthew 22:37-40

Why not just be an independent church?

We are an independent church! Every SBC church is completely independent. There is no denominational control or hierarchy, as there are in most other denominations. Each church is self-governed and determines its own affairs.

For example:

• Every SBC church chooses its own pastor

• Every SBC church owns its own buildings and assets

• Every SBC church determines its own programs
