Immerse Summer Challenge
June 2 – July 25 | All Campuses
Get ready to explore Immerse: Poets in this year’s Immerse Summer Reading Challenge. Using the easy-to-read New Living Translation, we will tackle the poetical books of the Old Testament: the songbooks—Psalms, Lamentations, and Song of Songs; and the wisdom writings—Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job. These books reflect the down-to-earth faith of God’s people and will encourage us to worship God with authenticity and follow His guidance for wise living.
Take advantage of the resources we’ll be offering during this 8-week journey and consider joining a discussion group! Groups will meet at every SBC campus on Sundays, June 8 – July 27 at various times.

Forge (noun, ˈfȯrj) – a workshop where heat is applied to metal until it can be shaped according to the blacksmith’s design.
God uses the unique challenges in each of our lives to shape us into His likeness as we walk with Him. And as we allow Him to shape us, we become useful instruments in His hand to carry out the unique purpose and design He has for our lives.

European Leadership Forum
May 12-23, 2026 | Poland
Cost: $1825 (airfare is additional)
Although most Christians don’t think of Europe as a spiritually needy continent, just 3% of Europeans identify as evangelicals. To address this need, SBC has made a major commitment to minister to leaders throughout Europe by sending logistical support teams to the annual European Leadership Forum in Poland. Sponsored by the Forum of Christian Leaders (FOCL), the European Leadership Forum is a strategic effort to train, encourage, and strengthen more than 800 evangelical leaders from 59 countries who often serve in antagonistic and isolated environments. Members of the SBC volunteer team provide vital support to make the Forum a success. Serving on the team is an energizing, humbling, and unforgettable experience!
Open to: Adults (over 18)
Please contact Kathy Mersbach if you are interested in volunteering.
2026 ELF sign-ups will be available in August.
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.
