    You Can Understand Revelation by Jen Wilkin
    Teacher: Dalene Uphaus | Cost: $25

    Revelation shouldn't leave us fearful or confused, but its imagery and concepts often confound our modern ears. If all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is just as accessible and helpful as other books in the Bible. This verse-by-verse study will help us see how Revelation offers assurance and endurance to the Church in every age.

    Knowing Freedom
    Teacher: Jolie Monea | Cost: $30 

    God has an incredible purpose for us in this life, and we get to know and love the God of the universe, and even participate in His plans as we spread His fame throughout the earth. Jesus promised us abundant life and joy not dependent on life circumstances, yet life in this fallen world is harsh, and trouble abounds. It’s easy to become weighed down with worries, defeat, past hurts, hopelessness, and other bondages that can dull or block our intimacy with Christ and make us feel stuck. This class will give us new tools to dismantle strongholds and live fully free in His power and purposes. The goal is transformation, and the time is now!

    This class uses the Knowing Freedom book. If you already purchased a copy, use the code knowingfreedom at checkout.

Elder Board Candidate

Scott Edwards

Scott Edwards received Christ as his Savior at the age of nine, largely through the ministry of his parents. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Arizona and has been active in the custom homebuilding industry for nearly 35 years, currently overseeing operations for Calvis Wyant Luxury Homes in Scottsdale.

Scott and Laurie are blessed to be parents to their adult son Tyler and daughter Kelsey (married to Steven Berryman), and they have arguably the world’s three most adorable grandchildren.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The member-elected Nominating Committee meets throughout the year to consider men from all SBC campuses who have demonstrated godly character, integrity, service, and other biblical qualifications for eldership. They then recommend qualified candidates to the current Elder Board whose members pray over the list, and after further deliberations, formalize the candidate list for final approval by you, the members.

  • Elders have a responsibility to consider many factors in deciding who and how many candidates to put forth each year. In looking to the upcoming year, it was concluded that one additional Elder was appropriate this time around.

  • Yes, it's important that you do, unless you have strong objections to an individual. Our hope is that you have confidence in your church’s leadership and their selection of qualified candidates. If you have concerns or questions, please contact us.

  • Generally, SBC takes note of people who are actively engaged in the church with their time, talent, and treasure and have shown themselves to be wise leaders. It is from that pool of people that we find leaders who are recommended as Elder candidates. 

  • Elders serve four-year terms and must be off the Elder Board for at least one year before they can be elevated to the role again.

  • Being an Elder at SBC is a tall order and is not for the faint of heart! Elders generally meet monthly as a full Board. Each member also sits on at least one of our board committees (Risk, Finance, Admin, Nominating, etc.) which generally meet once per month as well. The Elders also meet once a month for 'Soul Care,' a meeting where they tend to the spiritual needs of one another. In addition to this, Elders are expected to be active in the life of the church.

  • Scott Anderson, our Executive Pastor, can be reached at sanderson@scottsdalebible.com and he would be happy to discuss this vote or anything pertaining to SBC with you.

  • You can send your recommendation to elders@scottsdalebible.com. Each name submitted will be reviewed and included in the process.

European Leadership Forum

May 13-24, 2025 | Poland Trip is Full - Join the Waitlist

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 to be placed on the waiting list or for more information.

Baptisms

Sunday, May 18 | During Services | All Campuses

Baptism is a symbolic picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. When a Christian is immersed in the water, this person is identifying with Jesus in those events and making a public declaration of faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord. Jesus commanded His followers to be baptized; if you are new to faith in Christ or have never been baptized, we would love to come alongside you as you take this important step in your spiritual journey!

If you are interested in getting baptized, sign up below and we will contact you regarding available dates and next steps.

Learn about baptism to discover if this is your next best step.

Please email baptism@scottsdalebible.com, if you have any questions regarding baptism.

Volunteer at VBS
Jun
9
to Jun 13
Kids

Volunteer at VBS

June 9–13 | 9am-12pm | All campuses   

We need many extra sets of hands to make this year’s VBS a success. Consider helping kids discover who God is and His plan for their lives by serving in one of the following areas listed below.

*Childcare for ages 0-5 will be available for all volunteers with young children.

Adult Guides (Ages 18+):
Adult Volunteer Guides will check in/check out the same group of kids each day of VBS and will guide them through the rotations and sit with them during rallies. They will develop relationships with their team, maintaining a fun and safe environment for the kids to learn about Jesus.

Special Needs Buddy (14+ years old)
A Special Needs Buddy will assist a child who has special needs, helping to engage and redirect them throughout the morning activities to ensure a fun and meaningful time at VBS. Special Needs Buddies will receive additional training and tools to support a successful experience with their assigned child.

JHM Student Volunteers (Entering grades 6-8): 
Junior High Student (JHM) Volunteers will enjoy an entry-level opportunity to serve in the church as helpers to Adult Volunteers. JHM Volunteers may be assigned to either groups of kids in kindergarten through 1st grade, or as an assistant in Rotation rooms. Assignments will be made at each campus by DK staff. This is a great opportunity to serve the Lord and to help kids have an amazing VBS experience. 

HSM Student Volunteers (Entering grades 9-12): 
High School Student (HSM) Volunteers will enjoy serving in the church as helpers to Adult Volunteers and in additional leadership roles. HSM Volunteers may be assigned to either groups of kids in grades 2-5 or as an assistant in Rotation rooms. Assignments will be made at each campus by DK staff. This is a great opportunity to serve the Lord and to help kids have an amazing VBS experience. 

Nurse Station: 
Our Nurse Station Adult Volunteers will remain in our check-in area throughout the morning to be “on call” in emergency situations. They will be responsible for administering minor first aid, evaluating additional first-aid needs, and communicating with the DK staff and Security Team about any incidents that occur on site. We prefer to have adult volunteers who have advanced first-aid skills or medical field experience, such as nurses or doctors. 

Bible Review: 
Our Bible Review Adult Volunteers will lead lesson discussions, activities, and challenges to reinforce the message taught during the opening rally. This is a fun and engaging role for those who truly love to teach and engage kids in a fun and interactive way. 

Craft/Activities: 
Our Craft/Activities Adult Volunteers will lead kids through themed crafts or fun activities every day. Depending on the campus you serve, you may have the same craft/activity all five days or you may rotate through five different activities during the week. We prepare crafts, stem activities, and team fun that is simple and engaging for kids in an age-appropriate way. 

Games: 
Our Games Adult Volunteers will lead kids through games to play every day. We prepare games for age-appropriate groups that are fun, team building, and downright silly! We want all kids to have an opportunity to whoop and holler for the Lord! 

Snack and Chat: 
Our Snack and Chat Adult Volunteers will set up snacks and then lead kids in table discussion topics. This allows time to build relationships with other kids on their team and have fun and engaging discussions. 

Wherever Needed:
This Adult Volunteer is willing to help wherever they are needed.

Childcare Volunteer (Fountain Hills only): 
Our Childcare Volunteers will work with children under the age of five who belong to VBS Volunteers and staff. They will check in and check out kids daily. We will have a themed schedule of activities that are engaging and age-appropriate. Childcare Volunteers are required to arrive prior to volunteers to welcome the kids to their room and stay until the last child is picked up.

CREATE Camp
Jun

to Jun 20
Youth

CREATE Camp

June 16–20 | 9am-12pm | Shea Campus

Cost: $50

CREATE is a five-day experience where students entering grades 6-12 can discover and hone their God-given artistic talents in a community that encourages collaboration and fun and equips them to serve the Kingdom. We have seen God do amazing things in the many years of this camp, and we trust He will continue that work this year.

Classes are taught by a combination of SBC Worship and Creative Arts staff and talented leaders in their fields. Each student will choose one of the following classes to participate in throughout the week.

Classes: 

  • Dance – Students choreograph and prepare a dance routine to a selected worship song utilizing various styles of dance. 

  • Drama – Students will learn theater and drama techniques in a class setting engaging with other students.

  • Intro to Drums – This class is for students who have minimal percussion experience. Various drums/percussion instruments will be used in teaching technique and rhythmic interpretation with a short rotation on the drum set. 

  • Intro to Guitar – This is a great place to start for anyone interested in learning to play the guitar. We will introduce some basic techniques, music theory, and chord forms. Students will also work toward learning two worship songs throughout the week. 

  • Intro to Keys/Piano – This class is for students new to playing keyboards in a band. They will learn the basics of chord reading, how to choose sounds, and ensemble skills. 

  • Photography – Students learn photography principles through hands-on projects in nature as well as photographing the various camp activities, all with an emphasis on integrating their faith and art through photography. Students need to provide their own DSLR camera for the week. 

  • Production* – In these beginning and advanced classes, students are mentored by our SBC Production Staff members in the areas of audio, video, and lighting. Students will choose one of these tracks and must be in grades 7-12. 

    • Audio* – This class offers an overview of audio flow, effects, input devices, and mixing techniques to provide the basic ability to mix vocals and bands. You may get hands-on experience mixing and critiquing mixes. 

    • Lighting* – Learn about lighting instruments and programming the lighting computer as well as the thinking behind how lighting is used in worship settings.

    • Live Video* – Receive training on cameras, switching, shading, and techniques. The students will learn how to pan, zoom, and tilt, as well as the philosophy behind mixing for worship. 

  • Strings and Wind Ensemble – Students who play in their school band or orchestra are invited to learn ensemble concepts in a variety of musical styles and settings and also explore improvisational concepts and opportunities. Participants must have two years’ experience and bring their own instruments.

  • Video Production for Social Media – Students will learn the basics of camera operation (exposure, composition, camera movement, audio recording) and video post-production (media management, editing, graphics, sound design). They will capture CREATE footage using their phone camera and edit short story-driven social media posts. Students must have their own smartphones with the Blackmagic Camera and CapCut Video Editor apps downloaded. Both apps are free.

  • Visual Arts – Multiple mediums of art are utilized as the students complete individual art pieces focusing on the gift of creativity. 

  • Vocals* – Students are taught vocal style, technique, and expression as they learn current worship songs to engage the heart. 

  • Worship Band* – Students who are already proficient on guitars, keyboards, or drums will be placed in separate bands and learn new music and techniques.

To ensure we can best teach and facilitate each class, we are limiting class sizes, and spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you sign up for a class that is full, you may join a waitlist or register for a different class. If and when spots become available, we will start at the beginning of the waitlist and work down as places open up.

We believe the next generation of makers is born out of experiences like these in our students' younger years, and we look forward to seeing God work in their lives!

There will be no refunds after June 9, and there is no walk-up registration.

* Students in these classes should plan to participate in SBC's worship services on Sunday, June 22.
