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

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.

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.
