Our Vision

Training Biblical Disciples to Make Disciples in a Postmodern World

Vision Elements

1. Discipleship
   Training Disciples to Love, Follow and Obey Jesus Christ
   SBC will focus on making and growing biblical disciples. Students will be challenged to develop an intellectual and experiential understanding of God’s love. The goal of our instruction will be intimacy with God, which will produce passionate, obedient followers of Jesus Christ who will be compelled to minister His love in their neighborhoods and throughout the world.
   
   
2. Cost Effective
   Profitable Training at a Practical Price
   SBC will focus on offering a quality education at an affordable price.
   
   
3. Ministry Training
   Preparing With Purpose to Proclaim Good News
   SBC will focus on training men and women to minister God’s love through churches and para-church organizations. Classes will be offered that fulfill ministerial credentialing requirements. Practical ministry classes and seminars will also be offered that will prepare both vocational and non-vocational ministers to increase their effectiveness.
   
   
4. Life-Long Learning
   The First Step of a Lifetime Education
   SBC will focus on encouraging continual learning through obtaining additional degrees subsequent to the Associate’s degree and through continued personal development classes. Academic excellence, analytical thinking and cultural understanding will be nurtured to produce disciples capable of ministering to postmodern man.
   
   
5. Bible Based and Spirit Led
   Proclaiming God’s Word as Absolute Truth
   SBC will focus on encouraging a Christianity that is objectively true and rationally defensible. God’s Word will be taught as absolute truth which has been communicated from God to man and is applicable to everyone in the twenty-first century. The Holy Spirit sheds light on God’s Word bringing comfort, conviction and direction to the heart of man.
