Our Mission:Christ gave Christians the mission to spread the gospel. We were told to do that in partnership with one another. SCBA's mission is to connect churches, promote fellowship, and to help one another in our divinely appointed mission of spreading the Word of Jesus Christ locally and globally.
Bible Verse of the week"For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven't stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, so that you may have great endurance and patience, joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the saints' inheritance in the light." Colossians 1:9-12 CSB |
