Dear Friend, At SBC, one of our primary values is authentic community. We all need a group of people who can get to know us personally, share life with us, and encourage us to pursue Jesus. We believe life is much better when lived in community! Whether you’re new here or have been attending for years, I invite you to browse through this guide and choose a place to take your next step. It’s a great way to explore the many ways to grow in relationship with others in our church community. Whatever your life stage, interests or faith experience, there’s a place for you here. I hope you’ll find this a welcoming place to journey with others as we discover and live out the kind of life God desires for each one of us.
