Brotherhood grows when men make time for one another.
This Saturday, October 24,
join us for Men’s Breakfast and a morning of good food, honest conversation, and genuine connection. It’s a chance to strengthen friendships, encourage one another, and remember that none of us is meant to walk the journey of faith alone.
Whether you come every month or haven’t joined us in a while, there’s a place for you at the table.
Bring a friend and pull up a chair.

41 Years and Still Moving Forward
Last year, we celebrated 40 years of faith, community and ministry together. Since then, we’ve continued the journey, learning what it means to be Strong and Courageous in every season.
On Sunday, October 25, we’ll quietly mark another year in the life of SBCC and give thanks for where God has brought us and where God is still leading us.
Join us for our regular 10:30 AM worship service, in person or on Zoom, as we celebrate 41 years together.

Honor the Legacy, Share Your Story
The SBCC Family Heritage Tree is a living testament to the generations of faith, love, and community that have shaped our church. It is a place to honor loved ones, celebrate family, and leave a lasting mark on the story we are writing together.
By adding an Olive Leaf, Leaf, or Stone to the tree, you honor your family’s story as part of our shared history. Whether you are remembering a loved one, celebrating a milestone or simply marking your place in this community, your contribution becomes part of a legacy that inspires future generations.
Orders are accepted until October 31st.
Take this opportunity to reflect on the roots that ground us and the branches that reach forward. Your story matters. Let it take its place on the Heritage Tree.

One Church. Shared Vision.
The strongest ministry doesn’t happen in isolation. It grows when we listen to one another, share what we’re seeing and work together toward where God is leading us next.
On Saturday, October 31, from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM, SBCC will gather for our Leaders Forum, a time for those serving across the life of our church to connect, coordinate and look ahead together.
The gathering is for elders, deacons, ministry leaders, staff, small group leaders, teachers, ministry initiative teams and anyone interested in exploring one of these roles.
Together, we’ll consider the needs and opportunities before our church, coordinate vision across ministries and begin preliminary planning for the calendar ahead. Just as importantly, we’ll have space to listen to one another, offer support and remember that none of us serves alone.
Our hope is that you leave with greater clarity, encouragement and momentum, along with a stronger sense of how your ministry connects with the larger work God is doing through SBCC.
This is part of how we Grow Together so that we can serve with greater focus and intentionality.
Bring your perspective. Hear from others.
Let’s discover what becomes possible when we move forward together.

Circle of Friends
The Women of the Bible Speak
Some of the most powerful stories in Scripture belong to women whose faith, courage, and obedience helped shape God's redemptive story. Yet many of us know only a small part of their journeys.
Beginning Monday, September 7, 2026, The Women of the Bible Speak meets every Monday evening from 7:00 PM to approximately 8:45-9:00 PM through June 7, 2027 on Zoom.
Together we'll explore the lives of sixteen women of the Bible, studying them in carefully chosen pairs that reveal fresh connections, deeper meaning, and timeless wisdom.
As we examine the hope of Hannah, the courage of Esther, the audacity of Rahab, the faith of Mary, and many others, we'll discover lessons that continue to shape our own lives today. Their stories remind us that God calls ordinary people, works through every season of life, and equips His people to influence others for His kingdom.
Whether you've studied the Bible for years or are just beginning your journey, this class offers a welcoming place to ask questions, reflect together, and grow in faith alongside others. As we connect with God and grow together, we'll gain a richer understanding of Scripture and the ways God continues to work through His people today.
Step into the conversation and discover how their stories can strengthen your own. Register for the Zoom link below.

The Waiting Room
Trusting God Between the Promise and the Fulfillment
Have you ever felt like everyone else’s life is moving forward while yours is standing still?
Maybe you’re waiting for the right opportunity, a relationship, financial stability, healing, or simply some clarity about what comes next.
And somewhere along the way, you’ve wondered why things are taking so long.
But what if waiting doesn’t mean God has stopped working?
Join Immeasurably More for The Waiting Room, an honest conversation about trusting God when life isn’t moving according to our plans.
Drawing from Isaiah 40:31, we’ll explore the uncertainty, frustration, and unexpected growth that can come during seasons of waiting. We’ll also welcome special guest Jasmine Milan Williams, actress, as we consider what it means to trust God’s presence and purpose in the meantime.
Because waiting doesn’t mean your life has stopped.
Thursday, November 5, 2026
6:30–8:30 PM Pacific
Online via Zoom
You don’t have to have everything figured out to be part of the conversation.
Come as you are, even if you’re still waiting.

Hearty Harvest
A bag of groceries can fill a table. A moment of kindness can touch a heart.
Hearty Harvest is one way SBCC shares God's love with families in our community during the Thanksgiving season.
On Saturday, November 21, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, we'll welcome families to SBCC to receive Thanksgiving groceries and a $50 grocery gift card. Beyond the groceries, it's an opportunity to share encouragement, meaningful conversation, and a little extra kindness.
Here's how you can help:
- Fill a grocery bag: Use the Hearty Harvest grocery checklist to purchase Thanksgiving staples. Bags can be picked up after Sunday services. Return your filled bag by Sunday, November 15.
- Give a $50 grocery gift card: Help a family purchase additional items for their Thanksgiving meal.
- Volunteer: Help welcome families, distribute groceries, and offer a caring presence throughout the morning.
Together, we can make Thanksgiving a little brighter for our neighbors and remind them that they're seen, valued, and loved.
