OUR MOTIVE
Raising up the next generation of leaders, by providing a space for new leaders to use their gifts
Becoming more accessible to the "unchurched," by gathering at a time and place that may provide ease for those new to our body or those who may not come to a traditional church service
Engaging issues that are socially relevant, by connecting scripture to social issues most concerning to our body and community, and by designating space for dialogue and action
OUR HOPE AND VISION
To be another entry point into the body of Christ
To be a smaller gathering where people can dialogue about God as a community
To be a place where people can come as they are, ask questions, and experience God in the midst of their grief, loss, joy, etc.
To be connected to the larger body of SBCC
To be dependent upon the elders of SBCC for wisdom, guidance and prayer
THE ELEMENTS OF SPACE
Teaching
Scott Douglas will be our main speaker, with guest speakers at times
Intention to regularly connect scripture to Gospel themes of justice, mercy, service and hospitality in teaching and throughout service
Worship
We will have opportunities for space within worship, encouraging silence, meditation and reflection
Use of additional mediums in worship including different types of musical pieces and the visual arts
Communion
As a part of our time together each gathering, we want communion to be understood and be a central part of what we do together in worship
Building Community and Service
Intentional times of regularly scheduled fellowship following the service
Dinners together following service
Service opportunities together in our community
