Getting Out There to serve the hurting, empower the Church, and reach the lost.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” – Matthew 13:31-32
Sixty years ago, SBC was founded to reach our community with the transformative power of the gospel. Empowered by God’s Spirit, a small, committed group of families began to gather, worship, learn and pray. A mustard seed was planted firmly in the ground.
Today, this community of thousands of Christ-followers endeavors to be marked by unwavering faith and unconditional love as we reach out to impact the Phoenix Valley.
Many of you share a similar story. Perhaps through a sense of seeking something more, or the invitation of a friend, or even a moment of desperation, you landed on SBC’s doorstep, looking for hope, community, and purpose. Together, we want to expand the reach of that doorstep. Like the branches of a tree, we desire to reach wide with the love of Christ, bringing life to the world around us.
In this next season of ministry, SBC is seeking to partner with every person who calls SBC home to accomplish three things For the Valley:
For the Valley is an opportunity to make a transformational investment in the lives of people in our city. We invite you to ask God how He would have you participate in this vision through your prayers, involvement, time, talents, and treasure. Thank you for your part in helping the tree of SBC flourish and be a blessing to our city.
