Praise God for a beautiful morning to worship Him! Be sure to grab a coffee from Coalesce Coffee Co. before the service begins. Today’s message will be given by SBCV Executive Director, Dr. Brian Autry. Before the conclusion of the service we’ll walk over to the steps of our new building for a time of prayer and dedication.
Once the service is over you can come back and choose lunch from Hibachi Mobile or Gigi’s Dogs using the $5 off voucher that you received when you arriving this morning. Drinks and desserts will also be provided by our social ministry.
After lunch be sure to stop by and grab a few pictures at our fall photo booth while kids 3 and under can hop over to the bounce house.
Our youth will be selling bags peanuts from Texas Roadhouse for $5 each. All proceeds will go directly to support our kids and youth's 2025 summer camps.

We’re very excited to dedicate our new three-story expansion today. With over 5,000 square feet of space, it will be used for Sunday school, worship and fellowship opportunities. While it’s not quite ready to begin using today, we’re prayerful to be moved in sometime within the next month. Thanks to everyone who has contributed as part of our capital campaign, with a goal of raising $450,000. If you are interested in supporting us, please see a member of our stewardship team.
