Ministries
Adult Ministries
Our Adult Ministries exists to encourage men and women in their relentless pursuit of God as they connect through Bible study, their community, and to one another.
Life Groups
Sundays • 11am
Traditionally known as Sunday School, our Sunday morning Bible study for adults at SFBC is all about life transformation…LIFE Groups!
As we study the Bible, our minds are informed through the teaching of God’s Word, our hearts are transformed into the character of God’s ways, and through application our lives are conformed to His image.
We have Life Groups for all age groups available. Be sure to ask at our Welcome Desk in the Fellowship Hall to hear which group may fit you best.
Senior Adults
We believe that growing older does not mean that we should become less active in our Lord’s ministry, but rather we should find the place of service that God has for us where we can use our knowledge and experience.
Be on the look out for upcoming Senior Adult opportunities in the future!

The Worship Choir is a vital element in the blended worship services at SFBC. This group presents specials in a wide variety of styles and assists in leading congregational singing.

Student Ministries
The teenage years mark a transitional time for everyone. It is important for young people to find a space where they can be known, ask questions, and develop a vibrant faith. The mission of SFBC Student Ministry is to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and disciple students into becoming more like Christ.

We offer life group classes for both middle school students
(6-8th grade) and high school students (9-12th grade). During these Sunday morning classes students can expect lively discussion, fun, and foundational Bible teaching.
Leadership
We deeply care about the security and safety of of our students, and that is why all adults who work with minors at SFBC are carefully selected and screened by our church and Youth Pastor. All adults working with minors must undergo a background check and safety training before being cleared to work with minors.
Our youth leadership team are an exceptional group of adults who love working with students! Their heart is to invest and disciple this next generation of 6th-12th grade students.
Children's Ministries
SFBC children’s ministry is focused on forming a partnership with parents and families to help children (infants through 5th grade) glorify God and grow to their full potential in Christ as they prepare for a lifelong journey with Jesus
SPLASH stands for...
Surrender… to God’s offer of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Pray… talk to God because he loves you.
Love… God and others.
Ask… dive into God’s word for HIS answers.
Sing… and worship the ONE who made you.
Help… spread the GOOD NEWS.
What to expect on your first visit
Upon arrival at the children’s area, we will gather some basic information as you check-in at the welcome desk so we can provide a secure drop-off and pick up for your child.
Safety and security of the children is a top priority at SFBC. These are some of the precautions we have taken to assure that they remain safe and secure while they are in our care:
-
Each child receives a name tag after checking in with a unique code that will correspond to the parents’ pick-up tag. The parent picking up, must have access to this code.
-
The children’s area will be locked during services. We ask only parents picking up or dropping off to minimize the in and out traffic.
-
All volunteers are members of SFBC, are background checked and complete a security training before being able to work with the children.
Children's Church
Sundays • 9:30am
Elementary aged students check in the Children’s Wing and then attend worship with their family until they are dismissed for Children’s Church.
Preschoolers’ meeting time will include a Bible story and activity as well as time for a simple snack and drink.
Four times a year, when there is a fifth Sunday of the month, there will not be children’s church (Kindergarten through 5th grade) allowing our families to enjoy the worship service together.
Life Groups

This ministry is dedicated to helping those new to our country learn the English language. Our dynamic and caring teachers are trained to provide effective and meaningful English language experiences to all people, regardless of faith, race, creed or belief.
For the last 25 years, we have helped English Language learners from Asia, Europe, Central and South America enhance their interpersonal skills & assimilate into American society through the learning of conversational, colloquial & formal written English. Many students have become our friends and American citizens.
The classes are fun, the teachers are wonderful and it’s all FREE!
