Denomination: Baptist
Our Vision: “SLBC will be a place where outsiders become insiders, forgetters become rememberers, and beloved children become belief-filled adults”
Our Purpose: “Our purpose, dependent on God’s Spirit, is to worship God, to make disciples, to love and serve, to reach out to the lost, and equip each other for ministry”
Our Values:
A Personal relationship with God: we believe that God seeks a relationship with everyone through Jesus Christ.
Bible-centred in all things: we want to be people who dig deeper into God’s Word in our preaching, teaching, and ministries and so be renewed and empowered by it.
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit: we believe in the power of God’s Spirit to change lives and we want to be open to him and give him the space to work in us.
Everyone has a part to play: we want to recognise the gifting of every individual and aspire to be a church where everyone is given the opportunity to grow in that gifting as they serve God in the church.
A heart for the world/lost: we seek to be a church that wants to see lost people come into a relationship with God, and we want God to use us in that process.
Everything covered in prayer: we want to be prayerful in all things seeking God’s direction and blessing as we serve the local community and take steps of faith.
A church that cares for one another: we are a family that seeks to love one another as Christ loves us.
