Budget Vote & Membership Renewal
June 1-7, 2026: Budget Vote
June 1-30, 2026: Membership Renewal
All members are invited to participate in two important facets of church life at Scottsdale Bible:
We are asking you to affirm the proposed budget for the 2026/2027 ministry year which starts on July 1.
You will have the opportunity to renew your church membership for the coming year.
Members will receive an email on June 1 with links to vote on the budget and renew or update their membership status.
Financial Overview of 2026/2027
(this year)
Our budget for this financial year, concluding on June 30, reflected a 5% increase over the previous year. Current giving is 2% higher than the budget. This is a such a blessing, and we are excited to end the year ahead of budget in both contributions and expenses.
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 us 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: Our program expenses have gone up due to the cost of food for Alpha classes that will be offered through Groups and YTH. The meals help set the table for meaningful relationships, where trust is built and people begin to take real steps toward Jesus. We also have an increased cost for our weekly YTH Food and Fellowship lunches. We will continue to intentionally engage with students that don’t know the Lord on school campuses. This is our biggest front door into our ministries and has proven to be a great evangelistic program. We have clubs in 12 local high schools and eight middle schools with more than 2,100 students attending.
Staff: In the coming year, we are planning for our staffing salaries and benefits to comprise roughly 59% 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.
2026-2027 Proposed Budget: $31.3M
This graph shows a $31.3M proposed spending plan plus $3.8M in direct support missions and outreach giving, totaling $35.1M. Global, Local, and Missions Outreach comprise 13% of the total.
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.
SendYTH
You can be a part of YTH!
At SBC, we’re passionate about raising up the next generation of missions-minded leaders. In the coming year many of our students will be answering God’s call to share the hope of Christ and serve others across the globe.
Each student is responsible for raising his or her own support, and your generosity can help send them. By giving, you’re not only empowering their journey—you’re becoming part of what God is doing around the world.
CREATE Camp
Monday, June 15 – Friday, June 19 | 9am-12pm | Shea
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 Scottsdale Bible Worship and Creative Arts staff and talented leaders in their fields. Each student will choose one of the following tracks to participate in throughout the week.
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. Students may get hands-on experience mixing and critiquing mixes.
Creative Writing – Learn the basics of creative writing as well as how to read, study, and interpret Scripture in meaningful and creative ways. Students will trace the narrative arch of well-known Bible stories, study the character development of main characters, and rewrite these stories from the perspective of one of the characters.
Dance – Participants will 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 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 track is for students new to playing keyboards in a band. They will learn basics of chord reading, how to choose sounds, and ensemble skills.
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. Students will learn how to pan, zoom, and tilt, as well as the philosophy behind mixing for worship.
Photography – Learn photography principles through hands-on projects in nature as well as photographing the various camp activities, all with an emphasis on integrating faith and art through photography. Students need to provide their own DSLR camera for the week.
Songwriting – Students will explore and develop their songwriting skills by learning and practicing the fundamentals of lyric, melody, harmony, rhythm, and structure. Their week will culminate in the completion of an original song.
Strings & 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. They will also explore improvisational concepts and opportunities. Participants must have two years’ experience and bring their own instruments.
Video Production for Social Media – Learn the basics of camera operation (exposure, composition, camera movement, audio recording) and video post-production (media management, editing, graphics, sound design). Students will capture CREATE footage using their phone camera and edit short story-driven social media posts. Participants must have their own smartphones with the free Blackmagic Camera and CapCut Video Editor apps downloaded.
Visual Arts – Multiple mediums of art will be used as 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 1 & 2* – Students who are already proficient on guitars, keyboards, or drums will learn new music and techniques.
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!
To ensure we can best teach and facilitate each CREATE track, class sizes are limited 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. There will be no refunds after June 9, and there is no walk-up registration.
* Students in these tracks should plan to participate in Scottsdale Bible's worship services on Sunday, June 21.
