Rooted is a small group discipleship experience that inspires questions, conversations, and experiences designed to connect you to God, the Church, and your purpose. Rooted isn’t simply a Bible study or a book, it’s about taking risks and doing things Jesus did. You’ll practice seven rhythms essential to a healthy relationship with Jesus: daily devotion, prayer, freedom from strongholds, sacrificial generosity, serving the community, sharing your story, and celebrating. Come and experience Rooted!
Childcare is available at each campus! Look for the option to register in the confirmation email that you will receive after you complete your Rooted registration.

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.

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.
