Operation Christmas Child
Starting Sunday, November 9 | All Campuses
Fill a shoebox and change a life!
Imagine the joy on a boy or girl's face as they open a lovingly packed gift filled with toys and supplies. Many of the children who will receive an Operation Christmas Child shoebox have never heard the name of Jesus, and your gift will let them know He sees and loves them.
You can share the hope of Jesus with a child across the world by picking up a shoebox at Cactus, Fountain Hills, North Ridge, Shea or Tempe, filling it with small gifts, and dropping it off before November 24.
You can also pack a shoebox online! With just a few clicks, you can select toys and other fun items you’d like to include and personalize your gift with your own letter and photo. OCC will pack the gift for you and send it on its way for a suggested donation of just $30.
Volunteer Opportunities
We need you! There are three important ways you can volunteer to help with Operation Christmas Child.
Distribute and collect OCC Shoeboxes outside your campus Worship Center on Sundays, November 9, 16 and 23.
Help with National Collection Week in the Shea South Parking Lot on various dates starting Monday, November 17.
Pack shoeboxes at the North Ridge Packing Party. Sign up below.

Friday, November 14 | 8am-1pm
Saturday, November 15 | 9am-1pm

At the party, you’ll have the option to cover shipping costs and track where your shoebox is sent. We will be limiting the size of the group and pre-registration is required.

Why is there suffering?
Alpha is a series of conversations that explore life, spirituality, and faith in a fun, nonjudgmental, and open environment. Each session includes dinner, a short video, and a discussion where you can talk about your thoughts and questions with people from all different backgrounds. Try it the first night and see if Alpha is right for you. No strings attached, no pressure, and no cost.
Grace Marriage
Kicking Off February 2026 | Hosted at the Cactus Campus
Cost $189*
We are all taught to change our motor oil before our engine blows up. Or to go to the dentist for regular checkups to maintain good oral hygiene. Routine maintenance is common sense for the things that are important to us. So what about your marriage?
Grace Marriage is designed to help you routinely invest in your most cherished relationship. We’ll give you a path and a plan to help your marriage grow and experience more grace, more gratitude and more connection. Through the workshops and online resources, you’ll have the time, the tools, and the relationships to support your marriage in good times and in the more difficult seasons of life. SBC Marriage Ministry is committed to creating relational community for couples to walk through life together.
*The $189 fee includes participation in the 4 quarterly workshops hosted at the Cactus Campus (2/7/2026, 5/2/2026, 9/19/2026*, & 11/21/2026*), as well as curriculum materials. You and your spouse will also have access to additional online tools for support and encouragement.

Experience Alpha
Thursday, January 15 | 6:30 | Shea Venue
Let's come together for a night designed to fire up your passion for reaching people far from God.
You'll laugh and be challenged by Dr. Robert Duckworth—a former stand-up comic and powerful communicator—who’ll share fresh insights on connecting with those who’ve walked away (or never walked in).
We’ll also hear a special message from Nicky Gumbel, the pioneer of Alpha.
Pastor Rustin Rossello will unpack an exciting vision for how we—as a church—can break outside our walls and bring the hope of Jesus to the people who need it most.
You'll also hear stories from people who encountered Jesus in a real and personal way through Alpha at SBC.
Laughter. Inspiration. Vision. Movement.
You won’t want to miss it.
Childcare is provided for up to grade 6, and the cost is $10 per child.

Budget Vote & Membership Renewal
June 2-8, 2025: Budget Vote
June 2-30, 2025: Membership Renewal
All members are invited to participate in two important facets of church life at SBC:
1. We are asking you to affirm the proposed budget for the 2025/2026 ministry year, which starts on July 1.
2. You will have the opportunity to renew your SBC membership for the coming year.
Members will receive an email on June 2 with links to vote on the budget and renew or update their membership status.
Financial Overview of 2024/2025
(this year)
Our budget for this financial year, concluding on June 30, reflected a 7% increase over the previous year. Although current giving is slightly below expectations, we are hopeful to receive everything we planned on by the end of June. As always, we will manage expenses and spending to adjust to the level of giving God provides through you and others.
Looking Ahead
The budget for the coming year represents a 5% increase over our current year which will resource the programs and services that will allow SBC to continue having significant Kingdom impact at our current four campuses plus our new Tempe campus. The budget has undergone prayerful review by our Executive Leadership, Finance Council, and Elder Board. Though this budget represents a faith-filled and bold look ahead, as always, we have a strong commitment to live within the confines of what is provided to the largest extent possible, and we have various ways to adjust to a lower level of congregational support, if needed.
How and Where We Will Spend Projected Funds
Programs and Ministry: We are a full-service church with a wide variety of programs to meet the needs of adults, youth and children. We continue to offer targeted ministries as well as life-changing small groups, counseling, special ministries, and a robust local and global outreach ministry to serve our congregation, community, and a world that needs Christ. Our sense is that God has big things in store for SBC and its people in the coming year.
Staff: In the coming year, we are planning for our staffing salaries and benefits to comprise roughly 62% of our expected income. We are still within the norms of what is typical of other churches in this regard.
Capital Investments: We are thankful to have already made some major repairs and improvements over the past several years, and we have planned a significant amount for the coming year. This is an area where we can hold off on spending if the funds become limited.
2025-2026 Proposed Budget: $28.4M
This graph shows a $28.4M proposed spending plan. In addition to our operating budget, we plan to spend an additional $3.7M in outreach giving. Global, Local, and Missions Outreach comprise 15% of the total.
Thank You!
As always, we look to God for the provision and resources to accomplish His plans and purposes. We’re grateful for your continued trust, your partnership in changing lives, and your sacrificial giving that is being multiplied in ways that impact eternity.
