Welcome

About us
Here at SBPC we are driven by Gods word and the leading of His Holy Spirit. Our teaching and preaching is always scripturally sound and taught from a heart of love. Our focus is to be the church that God has called us to be and to be a true light for those in need. We are strong in our faith and stand firm without compromise in our efforts to reach the world. Because of the shed blood of Jesus, we are able to obtain everything needed to live a victorious life. Our worship is always annoited and brings glory and honor unto God and not ourselves.
Lastly, we welcome all to attend and pray that you will find yourself in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God. It is a divine guide to everyday living, as relevant to our lives today as when its holy words were first written. We are a Bible-centered church. We want our doctrines and our religious experiences to be the same as those of the early church. We hold firmly to our beliefs and understanding of Gods holy word.
We believe that God offers to every person the forgiveness of sins through the sacrifice of His Son. The scriptural plan of salvation is simple and definite:
-
All are sinners. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."(Romans 3:23)
-
Sin must be punished. "For the wages of sin is death."(Romans 6:23a)
-
Eternal life can't be earned. "For by grace are you saved through faith... not of works. (Ephesians 2:8,9)
-
By receiving Christ, we are forgiven of our sins and ready for the infilling of the Holy Spirit." If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1st John 1:9)
-
We believe that every Christian should follow the plan as demonstrated in the book of Acts and be filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost”. (Acts 2:38)
